Best Third-Party Products?

Author	Message
Denis Sarrazi #1 / 4	Best Third-Party Products? What are the best third-party products available for Visual Basic 6? Price is not a major concern. Our primary interest in in finding the best tools to help us build enterprise solutions in-house. I know of Sheridan's Developer's Suite and True DBSuite 6 (is there a lot of overlap between the two of them or would it be a good idea to get both). Note that we do a lot of SQL 6.5/7 and Access work. We are also looking into building n-tier solutions, web-based solutions, office integrated solutions and OLAP solutions. Thanks, Denis

Kirk #2 / 4	Best Third-Party Products? one product I would not even try to get along without, is ActiveReport. It replaces the DataReport (which I hate) and gives you all the functionality of an Access report (which I love) without having to automate Access (which I hate.) It plugs into VB as a Designer. Can't say enough good about it. Kirk Graves MCSD, MCT Quote: > What are the best third-party products available for Visual Basic 6? Price > is not a major concern.

Mitch Abaz #3 / 4	Best Third-Party Products? FarPoint has an excellent reputation for their controls, especially Spread 3.0 which is the best grid control on the market barnone. As for the rest, Sheridan is okay but I would avoid GreenTree like the plague. Quote: > one product I would not even try to get along without, is ActiveReport.

Monte Hanse #4 / 4	Best Third-Party Products? If you put them to the test, you will find problems with all of them. I've had problems with Apex, Sheridan, Videosoft -- you name it. For this reason, you will find many people writing their own (myself included). I would agree with Mitch, who suggested to avoid GreenTree. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Monte Hansen VB Yuk Yuk http://KillerVb.com What are the best third-party products available for Visual Basic 6?
