Where are you getting the free part?http://www.dbi-tech.com/VisualFoxProSednaCommunity.aspI remember looking at DBI awhile back, but it seemed like the controls were complicated/cumbersome or something. Actually, all their controls come with great documentation and samples. Also, unlike Microsoft, if you find a bug, Alan and Rod actually fix it. Personally, I think that they are wuite easy to use.
