This was v3.x I believe. Like I said it was back in 96/97 and I never looked at it again. Sometimes these questions are Ford vs. Chevy questions that may have no truly unobjective views. I can only hope that PB is better now than it was then. BTW: VB wasn't very nice back then either.

2 cents,

>>The problem with powerbuilder (in 96/97) is its debug environment. It was so bad I never went back to look at it again. It was just horrible. You ever see the look on a VFP programmer's face when you show them the F8 key in VB, modify the code on the fly, change it back after your execution line passes. All this in the same window you code in. That same look is the look the PB guys gave me when I showed them the VFP3 debugger/tracer. Thats sad. But, opinions are like diapers some are clean and some are full of stuff. ;}

"If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animated contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsel or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen."
~Samuel Adams
