>>No more workareas, Set Database or Create Session. No more ambiguous data management.
>>No more housekeeping (close data, etc.) The objects manage the data they represent.
>>Encapsulated Data.
>>Sharing data among forms is much easier.
>>Almost complete control over if, and under what conditions, data gets written to disk.
>>Flush is now granular, right down to the rowset level.
>>Programmatic control over login.
>>Rowset-level events that fire for appends, edits, changes, abandons and deletes.
>>Field-level events that fire before datalink and after changes.
>>Explicit control over the datalink itself.
>>Finally! - the ability to freeze or refresh datalinked controls at will.
>>Morphing.
>>Filter Mode
>>Scalability.
>>Business rules move away from the User-Interface.
>>Field level custom methods.
>>Data-level validation.
>>"Live" calculated fields.
>>Heterogeneous data access (multiple data engines simultaneously)
>>and most important of all:
>>Object data - with all its benefits of reusability and inheritance.
