The reasons stated are just why I haven't upgraded to RB2007 from RB2006r2 and currently have no plans to. Although, I don't enjoy the possibility of being stuck on this version of RB forever. But just to compile a UB version of my apps seems a not very good tradeoff for the drawbacks mentioned. I can't afford a new computer with 2G + of RAM. My current apps run with VERY little slowdown on my Intel MacBook. Summary: No reason for 2007 and a lot of drawbacks to upgrading. Roger M.
