hi Calvin

no, i haven't worked with it yet, but i am on the point of buying it. it seems that there has been a hell of a lot of work done on it since version 7. i can't wait to get my sweaty little mitts on it! i will be doing network speed comparisons on it at work and will post info on UT as i find things out.

have you looked at codebase 6? i looked over the site today and got the feeling that C++ and codebase could make quite a fine combination. the C++ syntax for the database work looks relatively straight forward. even easier than VB and codebase! i would love to try that too, but cash and time being what they are, it will have to wait a while!

best - john
