 Apex True Grid vs. Sheridan Data Widgets

Hello,

I am planning to purchase a database development VBX to simplify
my life a bit.  Could anyone recommend between the above two VBX's,
pro and cons, and what they would buy ?

Thanks in advance.

Glenn

Glenn,
In todays (May 1, 1995) InfoWorld newspaper they addressed the very topic
of which product to use.  If you can obtain that issue it explains their
reasoning clearly.  In essence, they rated TrueGrid at 8.5 and Data
Widgets at 7.3.  Both ratings are high enough to tell me I would be safe
purchasing either product.  However, like you I am preparing to obtain
one of these and will most likely purchase TrueGrid.

Good Luck...

I have True Grid which I suspect is a good database development tool.  However
the manual is so poorly written that I gave up on using it!  Good luck!

I can only speak about DW. We've used it very extensively (and intensely).  A
word of caution ... it it is relatively slow when handling really large
numbers of fields.

I really enjoy using TrueGrid Pro works pretty darn fast and does not
make you bind a database if you don't want to.

I use Sheridan's Data Grid that comes with Data Wdgets, and I love it. I also have
True Grid, but don't use it.

The Data Grid can be set up using no code at all. There are cases where code is
required to do certain things. My experience with True Grid is limited, but it doesn't
appear to be as easily configured without code.

This sounds great does anyone have a telephone number or address for the company that makes TrueGrid Pro?

Thanks

I vote for TrueGrid Pro.  Anything I've wanted to do with a grid,
TrueGrid has a way.
