Msg 44025 is 06 line(s) on 10/09/90 from WARD CHRISTENSEN to BILL COLEMAN re: R/FOXPRO VS PARADOX Ok, I see. Such an application doesn't sound too hard "to me", but then again, I've seen people program custom programs for WEEKS in Fox. (not that I've seen anything where you can "easily" generate multi-file applications). If you want to spend a little time with it every night or so, asking away here for ideas, feel free to do it. No msg 44026 Msg 44027 is 16 line(s) on 10/10/90 from BILL PRECHT to BILL COLEMAN re: YOUR DATABASE QUESTION I have most of the database products which you (and others) mentioned. For the application which you described, I would choose Paradox (3.0) or Clarion. Both of these have the capability to link 2 files in the standard manner(s). They are totally different in their approach to development, however. Clarion leads you to somewhat of a finished product, with maintenance screens, choice lists, etc., while Paradox (3.0) can relate 2 tables exquisitely, but the gingerbread must be programmed in their powerful (but non-trivial) application languages ("PAL"). If I had to get something done tomorrow, I'd use Paradox. On the other hand, if I were concerned about the user's impressions, I'd use Clarion. dBase and the clones are best suited for involved (but laborious) programming. That's not to say that you can't program Clarion or Paradox, but you will have to start from scratch with either one, to learn their peculiar application languages. They are both fine, but quite different.
