imported_Veronica, I have been hesitant to say anything here in this series of post. I will say this however about helping you. I saw and fell in love with the Logician's stuff and it seems really wonderful. When about to deploy it, the coder( solidsnake@GTI) helping me showed me another solution as well however for my problem. He showed me the VBadvanced free solution that worked for me and my solution flawlessly: http://www.vbadvanced.com/products.p...fo&productid=4 I am not sure it will help anyone here and no offence the the fine product logician offers for sure but this one won my heart with its professional appearance and having exactly what we needed right out of the box and all for free. He had it installed in 10 minutes or so and up and running.

Thank you Gladhatter, I already know and tried vBA. However, I would like to use this system, as it suits my needs better.

Logician,

Does this need some housekeeping to make it 3.8 compatible?

Thanks

Logician...

I'm upgrading to vb 3.8. Will I have any issues with this version of your mod?

Works with 3.8.

I haven't yet tested with 3.8 but I wouldn't expect any problems. So if you want to use it with 3.8, I'd say go on. :)

And I would say that is a rather Bill Gates attitude of allowing the users to do the beta testing all the while assuring them it is fine and if it is not then whom will clean up the mess? Not the Logician as he has a full time career with his current clients and you can see this is NOT a supported product.

A more reasonable answer from a more support oriented and caring person may be that they are not at all sure it works with a version they have not tried and advise all caution if anyone cares to proceed at their own risk.

:rolleyes:

Or maybe he believes that by design this MOD should work but he just hasn't tried - Aren't all of the Mods "at your own risk?" I see no guarantees - I suspect you could get a refund of what you paid for it should it NOT work ........... Oh, but they are free, silly me.

Silly may be a weak term to describe a person that believes anything is free or thinks it would be free to try to get a forum back up and going should it have terrible unforeseen consequences due to upgrading and finding out untested mods have had irreverable effects on it.

I clearly see this is one of those issues that may have opinions of both sides and I will restate my opinion that you should tread lightly and also approach with caution and even clone your current set up on a dev enviroment and then install this for through testing prior to using it in real time. This is the response that any competent developer would advise you to follow and not ask you to blindly trust what they have neglected to test for and assumes should work with no real knowledge to base that opinion on.

1- No, there will not be any "terrible unforeseen consequences" or "irreverable effects" of using webtemplates with vb 3.8.x. If this is something I suspected, I'd advise to hold on the upgrade until I test it. If I say "go with it" it means in the very worst scenario, it works but something minor requires a patch. (which is also unexpected)

2- In my own board I still use vb3.5.x and I don't think I'm obligated to upgrade my board for you in the 36th hour of the 3.8.x being released to support a hack I use for my own needs and share with the community for free just for the sake of sharing. If you don't trust my product or unsatisfied with it, please go with another product.

3- I thought you already found the product you need somewhere else and don't even use webtemplates so I appreciate if you don't hijack my hack's thread with irrelevant comments. Thank you. ;)
