After having used Alpha 4 v. 6 for about ten years I am finally making the switch. I downloaded the free trial version, and I am now trying to replicate my database. As I don't have a manual I am left with the feeble help screens and this message board. I successfully ported my dbf files to the database. Now I noticed the field rules for A% seem very similar to those for A$. Can I assume they will do exactly what they did for A$.The one area I find confusing is the lookup table. In A$ I was able to use another database as a lookup table, i/e filling in city and state based upon zip code. But I don't see an option to select a database as a lookup on A5. Also, I'd like to edit the Browse table, i.e. moving fields around to different locations. How do I do that? I'd also like to hear from others on the exact process they used to replicate their A$ relational database in A5. For now that will be all my questions, but I am sure I will be back for more. Thanks in advance.
