I just received a Borland coupon for ObjectVision for $99. Is this a good deal ? Will I be frustrated by things I can't do ? I am basically cheap, and would like to be able to build simple applications for my windows students. If I can provide menus, access to data in .DBF files, and print out simple reports, then this is something I can use. Does anyone out there have any experience with this product they are willing to share ? I will summarize to the network any responses I receive.

Saw this product demo'ed at COMDEX. For DB apps, it looks as though it would be well suited, but from my understanding there is no capability to link to your own code, which is a drawback for our application. A developer from our field sales groupthinks its great though. They are using it to create an order entry application for ou**r organization. (we are a fortune 200 company, and the field sale taff i quite large).

If you live around Bay Area, try Fry's Electronics. I went there yesterday and found they sell ObjectVision for $89.??. Much better than the $99 offer from Borland. But hey, I didn't pay attention at that time, so I could be wrong. spyen@netcom.com (Still looking for a good sig.)
