[DUG] Traffic Builiding Question.

[Steven Knight]

Hi,
    I'm Steven Knight I am employee of Environment Canterbury
I write Database applications using ADO and MS SQLServer. 
I have built about 10 applications over the last 3 years using Delphi. 
These are mostly GUIs for manipulating data with limited amount of reporting 
and document preparation and Interfacing to other systems using APIs.

I drag and drop whenever I can. My favorite recent app handles 18 tables 
averaging about 5 fields each in a reasonably complex relationship. 
It has only about 5 lines of hand written code :-)  

I am being dragged into Visual Studio VB and .net kicking and screaming
all the way.
