I am very new to RR and have been lurking on this list for a while. I have a project which I developed in VB6 and would like to recreate in RR and would like to know if this is a suitable first-try project, using RR trial version. I have created a relational database in Access 2000, with mutiple linked tables. It's a computer retail pricing and quotation system, storing parts pricing information, customer information, and quotation information for custom-built computer systems. The front-end is written in Visual Basic 6, making extensive use of flexgrid and datagrid controls for displaying the results of SQL queries (not stored), and inputting data. I have also used some direct Windows API calls. So far this application has been used in-house so some minor bugs haven't been too important, but I am thinking about limited distribution with some minor modifications for a different sort of use. I would like to cut down on the number of files included with the installation package, as well as the overall size of the package. It seems to me that RR will allow me to achieve those goals.
I have some concern about the objects available for data access in RR. Are there objects that are the equivalent of the flexgrid, datagrid and data controls that are part of VB? If not, are there uncomplicated ways to duplicate their function? If I use my existing Access database, must I use ODBC? I have used ADO and DAO with VB in the past. Lastly, will the limitations of the RR trial version restrict what I can do to the point of making it impractical?
