Thanks, Don. I only recently discovered and joined the second Yahoo Ecco group. Needless to say, these groups are absolute lifesavers to those of us whose daily lives would border on chaos without Ecco. I'm not a techie, but if you need help with any of the administrative or moderator functions, I'm sure many of us would volunteer to pitch in. Anything to keep Ecco alive and working (at least until I retire)!
On a new topic, if any techie can figure out how to solve the limit on the number of records, I would be more than happy to make a donation to compensate them for their time. The File-Database-Archive feature has never worked for me so every few years, I have to go through a grueling process of manually deleting old notes and appointments to reduce the number of records.
Thanks to everyone for being Ecco diehards!

He was the only active owner, Nick Gordon, long time ecco afficionado and the founder of this forum, if I recall correctly, is apparently not active, I haven't been able to contact him at all by e-mail. I don't know if he looks in here any longer. Tom Hoots is listed as the other owner, but I seem to recall that Tom had some health problems some years ago, or perhaps even worse. In any case, he hasn't been active in a long, long time.

There are more people who can respond to requests for help there than there are here, apparently. There is a fair amount of technical talk that is way over my head. I just look at it and ignore it. I use both forums as resources to help keep me up to speed on ecco.

I am limited in my time (aren't we all!) so you will likely find that anything needing approval may get stuck waiting for me to show up for some hours. And other times, I will happen to be at the computer at the right time, and approve it right away. So things will limp along until Yahoo kicks us out, I guess.
