Re: Distributable Commercial Apps Access Vs Delphi


Thanks for the Great Feedback!

I believe that Security issues on the backend, and data integrity/
corruption complaints over the network may be a stumbling block to a
solid distributable application? I am also discouraged by the
inability to make a truly compiled executable .exe front end. I have
recently read a bit about Delphi, that seems to cover these issues,
but am sure that Delphi may have its own share of issues.
Should I build marketable apps with Access on Jet or SQL, or Delphi on
Jet or SQL, or some other animal that addresses my concerns???


Delphi is a good solid development tool *for the front end*. You still need
a database and what will you use that is easy to distribute, free, and easy
to install that will not have the security issues that Access/Jet will?

That IS the Question ???





I like .Net mostly because I am very familiar with it, and it is way
easier to use than VBA once you have a handle on OOP coding.

I know little of .Net. Would this resolve the issues I describe???
