Hi Russ,

I'm also using CodeMine. You should ask them (http://www.codemine.com) to send you the chapter tutorial exercise part of their manual. This way you'd see how easy it is to get going with that framework. New version 7.0 should be out shortly. There should be lots of cool new things in there. Did you know that on top of encryption you can easily add a checksum field to a record. That way if the data is modified outside the application you'll be able to know about it and stop the application from executing.
