>>>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.
