Re: Experience with New Era

If you want my two bits.... DON'T use New Era. It takes for ever to do anything at all. The tool is very buggy. The compiler has memory leaks and the IDE is very poorly integrated. Take for example a drop down list box that is linked to a db. You can do this is 2 min in PB with minimal code. You have to write a mountain of code to do it in New Era. There may be applications that need this kind of a tool but you are probably better off using VC++ 4.0. VB and PB are great for simple db applications where speed is not top priority. My client is no longer using New Era. They decided that enough was enough...
