    Barclays Banking

    For years I have been a Businesss Santander Customer, without an overdraft. For sake of argument, say I have £1 in my account and on Friday Morning a DD hits for £2000, Santander sends me a text telling me I need to lodge money before 4pm. I go in, se what the DD is that has hit and either...

    Long Term Members

    Windev from PCSoft

    Does anyone on here have any hands on experience of Windev? It is a 4GL or 5GL language (depending on your definition). Also is available in a Web version and a mobile version.

    Long Term Members

    Hi All I haven't been on here in around 10 years, and after a quick look in recent posts, the only names I recognise are Sir Earl and Estwig. I suppose it the cycle of life, but congratulations to the above two members in their longevity and support for the site. It does make you wonder what...
