I have been developing database applications for many years in C++, VB, Access and many more. I've been using Alpha5 for about 6 months now and have found it to be more powerfull and easier to use than any other program of its type. I recently developed an application for the company that I work for that was chosen over several others written in everything from Acess to File Maker. Many other members of our staff around the country called to find out how I built te program. It truly is the best solution I've run across in many years.
