Don't worry about it - found your code in my Yahoo account. <Duh/> -----Original Message----- From: Colin Bell Sent: Wednesday, 21 November 2001 12:01 To: 'Guido Cervone'; 'squ...@li...' Subject: RE: [Squirrel-sql-develop] Re: Inductive Databases and squirrel Hi Guido, Could you please repost your code to the list. I've just lost the harddrive on my laptop and that contained the only copy of it.
