Set the timer script on start up and use the command "execute query" thriugh script designer.

Hi all,

like many people in this thread, I found dbforums when I searched for more info on non-existent support for Brilliant Database.

First of all, I don't get why such good piece of software is virtually abandoned, and I hope that nothing bad happened to it's author.

Now, some questions, if anyone has the answers:
Have anyone bought BD Pro recently? Is it safe to byu it? Who's handling the purchase, BD staff, or third party vendor? I like the software so much, that I would buy it regardless of missing support, but then, I'm not sure will I receive serials when my money evaporate from my card...

Then, what are the differences between Commercial and Home versions?
I would like to buy one Pro and one Workplace edition, Pro for me to have it at home to create database, and Workplace for my wife to take at her lab (she is intern at University bio lab) to enter the data there. After she feeds all the data she needs, I would have to create queries and reports needed for her thesis.

Also, if anyone here can give me "4 dummies" explanation how to combine results from three (mixed, numbers and text, but all should be treated like text) drop down lists and show them as one non editable text field (hidden or not, it doesn't matter)? I can't figure this out, even when I look at example database from their site.

I know chances are slim that someone here can answer those questions instead of BD support, but then, I feel I must try.

Sorry for this "carpet" of a first post,
cheers, Michael

Click on Design!>Timers....

Explain what are you really trying to do with the button, might help you

I am wondering if the Mikhail Lishin guy is stil alive ?????? If so, why keeping so quiet

Sure. You can for example, set it in a timer script and ask it to run on Db start

On Database Software Design and Management - Brilliant Database - Home Page, there's still a offer from Christmas 2010. For some reason, ML isn't doing anything more with BD. He doesn't response on e-mails; there's no forum (if you don't want to give support, make a supportforum where users can help each other!). That's pity, the program is good.

The only reason i don't buy this program (the Designer!) is because of the lack of support or any kind of communication. It seems to me that BD is obsolete.

- edit: hey Mikhail Lishin (like everybody else, you're Googling yourself ;-): give some prove of life. Add/open a forum. Say at least once a month 'hello' or something like that.

No phone number but I guess this can be found in yellow pages or other sites

AFAIK is this a reselleraddress, not from the maker. Someone has to do the administration, right ;-)?
