Re: Informix Data Director for VB
<HTML> You're always welcome to email DataDirector@informix.com for information on the product line. <P>You may be also interested in the beta release of DDVB 3.5 currently available at www.informix.com/DataDirector . <P>Cheers <P>Adam <BR> <P>John Clynes wrote: <BLOCKQUOTE TYPE=CITE>Jean, <BR>I asked this same question a little while ago and I got very negative <BR>feedback about DD for VB from people. <P>I would recommend avoiding this product.
