>>>>Just curious. I reviewed an application (my competition) that was very similiar to my VFP application that was written in Clarion. The screens were incredibly fast with pretty much the same controls on the forms as my VFP app (tabs, push buttons, etc.) I have heard that VFP has intensive screen I/O and OOP contributes to performance issues. Can anyone shed some light on why there is this much of a speed difference between the two.

My intention here was to see if there was anyone who has (or had) experience with Clarion to give feed back regarding the above. I am not looking to switch tools, just searching for info regarding the product. I may add it to my toolbox later, but I have so much invested in VFP and xbase in general. It's enough for me at this point just keeping up with learning VFP.

So, are there any Clarion (past or present) developers out there that can shed some light on my initial request?

Thanks,

James
