Thanks for the details Dan. I expected it to be faster. Would be interesting to see more recent figures although I don't expect them to be that much different. I use the Document View when in forms and visual classes and find getting around for code maintenance pretty easy. But, it is

I guess so, but to be honest I do not have a problem with source control either, the screen gets generated as a text file if I need to compare things and it's all done invisibly to me. Frank. Frank Cazabon On 17/01/2013 09:10 AM, Alan Bourke wrote: PRGs work better with source control
