Hello, I've been trying to decide if Runtime Revolution is the right tool to develop my new project (I'm also considering 4D and REALbasic). I'd appreciate any opinions on the suitability of Runtime Revolution for this project:
The project involves generating a report of a medical procedure. Four people are involved in supplying data for the report, all of whom work in different places.

Despite reading the available documentation, I've been unable to tell which programming environment would work best, particularly regarding the ease of having multiple users enter data, and the importance of using a database-centered programming environment, like 4D or Filemaker, as opposed to a more general programming environment like Runtime Revolution. My programming experience is limited, and I don't want to find out a few months down the road that I made the wrong choice.
Thanks,
Alan Simon
Hi Alan,
One question first. Is this in the United States? Because if it is you will need to create access privileges for each user and you will need to encrypt data before sending back and forth from computer to computer; not to mention the medical practice conducting itself within the guidelines of HIPAA compliance. If that is what you have in mind then you might look at Run Rev in combination with the Valentina database using FTP. That database can encrypt text as well as other kinds of media using the Blowfish encryption algorithm. I suggest this because you will need to use a server based CGI setup in order to integrate data transfers with other tools like Filemaker or 4D. Here is something else to consider. If you develop in Run Rev & Valentina you can also integrate with other application developing applications like Director and RealBasic that can still work with the same Valentina database that you use with Run Rev.
just my two-cents ... I'm not much of a Run Rev programmer yet.
