There are several good tools and some not-so-good tools available. Delphi, VB, VO, C++, Powerbuilder are all good, but each better at some things than others. Access, Visual dBase, and Visual FoxPro are OK, but not quite as open. The real answer depends on what you're comfortable with. I've used all of the tools above for different projects and my two favorites are VB and VO. But, ask someone else who's used them all and you'll likely get a different answer. JMTCW - Steve
