It would be nice if Borland could do something like this.

Perhaps, but how about Interbase data? How about data inwards from the web
to the main live database. How about if that main live database was also
interacted with by the main application written in Delphi?

Last time when Delphi 5 was released, I could not justify going to the
Enterprise version... so we went with the Pro version (4 licenses) and
purchased the ADO add-on and a few other third party tools...
That has worked fine for us... so the main question is do you (or I !!) need
the Enterprise
Couldn't agree more.
Also one other point Premier 6.0 Video Editing software has just been
released. $2000 for first time buyers, $338 to upgrade. Now that is a much
fairer upgrade price...

Hi All. Well whilst I agree with everyone about the pricing structrue (which
I am sure is based on the think of a number, double it theory) Borland
uses and the objectionalble price they charge to upgrade, MS dont really
offer any good incentive when upgrading to SQL Server 2k from SQL 7. I think
I feel I must have missed something very elementary here:-
A form has (say) 20 buttons named Button1, Button2 etc..
If you want to do something with each button, at the moment I write
Button1.enabled:=true;
Button2.enabled:=true;
Button3.enabled:=true;
.
.
etc
How can I refer

Wise words. Thanks to third-party
You can either iterate through the controls on the form using
MyForm.Controls and checking thier type or you can define a private TList
and push all your buttons into the list on create (or in the constructor)
and iterate through the TList.

Or you can use FindComponent if you only want buttons with a certain name:
eg if you know there are 20 buttons such as bSpecial1, bSpecial2, ...
bSpecial20
var
LButton : TButton;
...
for i := 1 to 20 do begin
LButton := (Form.FindComponent('bSpecial' + IntToStr(i)) as TButton);

Hi all,
Would you be more influence to upgrade if the period between versions was
greater. I personally think 12 to 18 months is too short. What if the
major release version was at least 24 months apart. After about a year you
got say a .5 release and there were more maintenance releases that
Thats why 3 years - 5.5K upgrade V6, 10K upgrade V7, 15K upgrade V8...
You could probably end up working the rest of your life free just trying to pay
off the upgrades ... :)

Damn right - this proposal would end up cheaper for me. And for every other

It will even make life 'cheaper' for companies. But for Borland it will mean
