HOwever, the kernal does not respond to the AEs when the >front >end is running. Therefore, how can the front end be controlled by sending >AEs to the kernal? I see there has been no comment from all of you guys who claimed that DoScript support in the kernal was acceptable. It clearly isn't. I for one want full scriptablibilty and recordability in the front end. This product is TOO EXPENSIVE for it not to provide the user with such capability. I'll buy no more upgrades until these are provided. BTW: You Windows users should call for support of OLE automation in the front end.
