Databasing ?

Hey team,

I haven't bought Blitz + but I have had a request from a client and I wondered if B+ can handle it... Can you guys please help me here?

I need to write an application, which connects to an Access database, can managed a mail merge and then printout a document based on the results.

Does this sound like too much for B+?

I know VB could do it but it is too long since I used it and even then I didn't do that much with it.

Any help would be gratefully received.

Many thanks,

IPete2.


PS I have just searched for databasing and I think I have the answer, but if anything has changed to make it more likely, please let me know.

Blitz+ does not support database connectivity natively, It could probably be done with a Userlib (custom dll), but thats a lot of hassle. I think you'd be better off just writing the thing in a language wich allready has DB support, like VB, Purebasic,C++, .NET or php for that matter.

While B+ could do this with a LOT of programming on your behalf I wouldn't recommend it when VB is much more suited to that type of work.

Thanks for the feedback guys!
