i worked for 9 months trying to put together a foxbase application
incorporating menus, multiple windows, and referential integrity
among windows. after all of this time, i gave up because of the
incredible complexity required to perform these "simple" macintosh
tasks.
i then switched to over to double helix, and was able to reproduce
in THREE DAYS all of the work that i had done in the previous nine
months in foxbase.
if double helix can handle your database requirements, then you can
put your system together in a fast and easy fashion.
