Hi Mark,

I can't give you an unbiased account of RB because they blew away all 
their credibility back in RB version 3.0 in regards to being able to 
build a cross-platform standalone application for me. Now on the other 
hand RunRev is built cross-platform with its own engine. How's that for 
an example of what you can do with RunRev? When I create a standalone 
on Windows I do it using RunRev on Windows. This is the best way to see 
what it will really look and act like while creating and building 
applications. I ended up not liking RB, so in all fairness to that I 
can't give an account of RB 5 or higher.  I can tell you that if you 
want a powerful database system you can create your own SQL calls that 
work with the Valentina datebase plug-in. You might also want to look 
at Valentina because they are also working on a version that works on a 
server.
