Re: Autoviewer and NOF?
Thank you Charles!
It is QuickTime, but the updater annoyed (notice the tense) me about Safari
as well.
I shoulda remembered that trick! You must be almost as old as I am ;-)

Re: Autoviewer and NOF?
Charles,
3.03 is the most recent. it fixes a number of security-related issues and
other problems.
Still beta.

LOL - hey now, I RESEMBLE that remark<g>
;-)
Let's just say that I remember when DataFlex was "new" technology and that
the first hard disk drive for a PC that I ever saw was a 5 MB external
drive that took three days to format (plus you still had to boot on a
floppy with a device driver to access it).
.... and I was into computers well BEFORE that<vbg>
;-)

Just a followup - you still can't run the app and start with a local URL
