I'd suggest figuring out which GUI toolkit you want to use... You have GTK, Tk, I'd say Wx but you didn't list wxpython. You also have two competing PostgreSQL adapters -- pick one... Eric, geany, and idle are all editor/development environments and not directly related to what the application itself runs. For a predefined database, you may just want to explore Dabo. For a general access (eg; one where you tell the program which PostgreSQL database to connect to, and it extracts the schema information from the database at run-time) you'll need to study the advanced features of the database engine and adapter. -- Wulfraed Dennis Lee Bieber AF6VN wlfraed@ix.netcom.com HTTP://wlfraed.home.netcom.com/
