OK, we also have a guy who swears by Omnis. But we are an Oracle site (apart from Access for hacking together pretty query-only EIS/what-if applications). I too would like to know if Blaze will always be slow - I have a project on the go now, and need to know if I should just drag the objects back from Blaze to the PO7 database on the same PC (try doing that in most other PC database packages - or even dragging the objects to an Oracle7 database on .........
