Hi Neil,

I looked at "Servoy" today for the first time on a SERVOY Webinar this morning, or maybe early afternoon. It was really cool; and the costs overall are less. I saw the data between a desktop form and a web form be changed at the same time on the server.

>Hi,
>I know where you are coming from, maybe you should have a look at Servoy http://www.servoy.com it looks promising., it is also cross platform.

>Complexity is the result of a badly designed system. .Net is complex. For gods sake, we are only doing DB maintenance with a bit of interfacing.

>I am currently looking at Servoy because I think there could be a major change in direction with O/S's over the next couple of years and a development environment with cross platform builtin seems to be the way to go.
