Might I ask: how do you like Delphi?
I haven’t been programming for several years, but back then (Late 90’s) I loved it. I chose Delphi 4 over VB because it integrated well with the Borland Database Engine, which is what the CRM package we were programming for was using.
Another advantage is that the end result was one executable. There was no need for my installer to put a bunch of VB dll’s on the client’s machines. We liked that a great deal.
I still have my Delphi 4 box here on the shelf. I haven’t used it in at least 3-4 years.
