Hello Craig, >>;) with the database related development tools, i.e Oracle/SQL server environment. I >>Oracle Developer/2000 would be a nice tool in the hand ;). >I'm gonna have to disagree somewhat. While Developer/2000 may be a nice tool, Oracle as a corporation, IMO, is a major stumbling block. I see them making the same mistakes Novell made when Ray Noorda was CEO there. My prediction is that if Larry I not mean that Oracle corporation is better than MS. But their products have some advantages, definitely. I don't want to get flamed, but their Report writer in D/2000 is excellent (at least, I wish I would have this in VFP) >Ellison continues battling against Microsoft the way he is, the same thing will happen to Oracle that happened to Novell...huge loss of market share as people leave your product enmass. Heh, it remembers me "Hit the road, Jack, and don't you come back no more" by Ray Charles >IMO, go with VB. Let's the war begin! ;) What do you can deliver in VB? Small ActiveX components? Definitely, Delphi is more powerful player in this arena...
