I want to build a small (it looks ike a small one...) database application for an inventory and shipping adminstration, on a PC. Inventory contains only 5 articles, one shipment a week. No billing (yet??). Approx size: 5 or 6 tables, 12 screens, 4 reports. What's the best thing to use to create this? Dbase IV? Reflex? program it in turbo pascal? I appreciate experiences and opinions on this. -- ---> Michiel Steltman, mist@amc.com || amc-gw!mist 206-882-5644 <--- ====== Westmount Technology: The West-European trailblazers in CASE ====== "Murphys law: if anie ^H^H^H^? :wq ZZ How do I exit this fu** editor ^H^^?^?

PC Week's recently reinvigorated testing department invited 17 vendors to show their stuff - each got an application spec to be implemented, and daily q&a updates. LOTS of variables make this open to debate, including programmer efficiency & experience, hardware, missing vendors (Oracle, others), etc.
