I would like to compare notes. * * We have also been testing Delphi, Access and had a quick look at NewEra. * * We were not impressed by NewEra v1.0 and are currently awaiting version 2.0. * * We have made a prototype of our 4GL application in Delphi and Access. Our * conclusion is that Delphi is a super tool *but* it has one major feature * missing, namely the possibility to perform the same functionality as the * 4GL CONSTRUCT statement.

(BTW, there is a set of components from Gernot Kogler call C/S Professional which do about the same thing, though. Available on Compuserve [Go DELPHI] ).
