Re: Iris Database

I have played around with Janet's database starting with the beta version. I
have e-mailed her with some sugestions in the past. I am a novice at using a
database and making one. I have made my own and am using one I bought.

She has a great one started in my opinon.  The main drawback for me is not
being able to enter the location of each cultiver. All you can put in is the
bed the iris is planted in. I would like to see two more fields for
location. One for row and one for position in the row. With out this it is
not usable for me. I would have to have another database for location.

I like that she has a edit feature to a lot of the fields since the beta. It
has more fields than I would ever use but they are there for those  that
would like them.

I hope some of you try it. It is sure worth downloading. She also has a
Garden one that  I have not tried.

For Janet:  when I edit the "rebloom field" it changes choices in "branching
field" also.
