Joe,

Just a quick question: will RDP save _me_ 20 minutes a week? I'm using WDSCi 7.0 - which is still "free", as in "included with the compilers", right?

It will depend, but yes I think it will. First, RDP is faster and lighter than WDSC. Second, I find the outline and prompting a little better. Those are relatively subjective, but they add up. On the negative side, I like the stylesheet they use for help in WDSC better. Little things.

But if you're doing *any* display file or printer file work, the screen designer and report designer will probably save you 20 minutes a DAY.

And yes, WDSC is free, but it's also about to become unsupported.
