Hi Brady, thanks for your comments. May I ask you what tool are you using? Since I am also learning Java, there's a lot I do not understand yet. I actually create apps in NSBasic, but some ideas of developing "Web Services", SOAP and XML forced me to choose another development tool. My question regarding DB handling is because people from DataRep could not answer me this issue. So, you mean I can handle PDBs with RMS. Do these DB backup normally? Finally, why you mention about O-O missing in Simplicity?
