Hi folks,
I'm new to Delphi, not programming.  I need to know these simple issues when
working Delphi before I commit to Delphi3.

1.)  For example:  Say I have a sales order that has a line item called
"MyWidget (Product# 123)" and I sell a qty. of 3.  How can I get that record
in the products database and tell it to reduce inventory by 3(qty.)?

2.)  Can I export records from a .dbf to an ascii file?

3.)  Is there a way to run an external .exe from a Delphi program, say for
example:  MyExe.exe or notepad.exe, etc,etc?

Please excuse these simple questions, it's just that I've been reading Marco
Cantus' "Mastering Delphi 3" and the support for these items above is not
documented very well, not to mention the books that came with Delphi 3 pro.

Thanks in advance,
Don

Without going into details, I suppose that's not the issue here, these
are all things that can be done rather easy in Delphi.

The inventory-problem: the tTable component has several methods to
assign procedures to check / edit  other tables.

With Batchmove you can easily export to ascii files, and starting
another exe is a standard Winapi call.

If you want details, please mail me

HTH, Eric
