It is amazing how good you can become at drawing using Static text, pictures, lines, boxes, fonts and the color palette in Sdesigner. When I originally saw the color palette with the options default, fancy, form and custom I did not give it a moments notice. I am sure glad you guys and gals did. The form palette is a lifesaver and custom lets the artist in us sneak out.

These users want a very basic easy to use database that does a lot of basic things simply and easily without to many bells and whistles. I believe Lantica has provided such a product. Sesame can be used out of the box without much fuss to accomplish many tasks. Very little learning is involved to accomplish many of the basic database features. At the same time they have laid the groundwork for users who want more features, more control and more sophisticated applications. From a user standpoint I get the best of all worlds, a building block approach to my application. I can start with the basic and if I desire to put the effort in and learn more, I can add much more power to my application. Thank you Lanticans for giving us a product that is so versatile and gives our applications the ability to grow in the future. I am only one user but I know my feelings are felt by many others and with customer loyalty a great product and time you will make Sesame's path the beaten path.
