Re: Windows Query - fast development tools

If you want something portable outside Windows, Progress ver 7.x, no risk. Been out over 12 months now and is really nice. Purely Windows, Access or Paradox (note that I wouldn't use either of these myself unless given no say in the matter). Progress will sell you a Test Drive kit for about $A200 ($A1.00 = $US0.73)!. This will enable you to build complete apps for Windows, the rstriction is that you have to dump database defs & data after 10 sessions, defined as from starting the app to closing it down. Minimising it still counts as a current session. As an Informix user by first choice, I'm posting this here as Progress marketing and small developer support, IMHO, leaves Informix for dead. Sorry.
