[AccessD] Centura?

For the moment, given his market, Access FE/BE will be perfectly adequate -
I figure 3-20 users, small law offices.  If the time comes that he's getting
into bigger law firms and bigger numbers of users, from what I've read on
the list here he can upgrade the BE to SQL and keep the Access FE. The FE is
huge so rewriting it in another platform would be a major project.

Why not use a SQL based product?  I supported IP Master for years, and it
has a boatload of features that it  would take too much time and money to
recreate and maintain than would ever be worth a custom developer's time.
(ie when does a Lithuanian patent need to be renewed )  There are other good
products as well.

He's a lawyer specializing in patents and trademarks. Docketing means
scheduling of some kind to lawyers. When certain events or actions have to
take place.

Hi Rocky

By Centura he probably means Unify/Gupta (formerly Centura) Team Developer
found here:

  http://www.unify.com/Products/TeamDeveloper/default.aspx 

I have no experience with this. However, maintenance of such application
must be difficult due to the - I guess - limited count of qualified
developers for this.

PS: What is clocketing (crocheting?) business about?

Dear List:
 
Got an inquiry from a client for whom I'm developing a product.  He writes:
 
A big player in the docketing business sells a program that uses Centura for
its front end, and SQL Server for its back end.  They say Access is not
robust enough for them, Centura is.  From what I can tell on the Internet,
Centura is free shareware and I find it hard to believe it would be better
than Access.  Do you know anything about it?  I think the guy is blowing
smoke, but I don't really know.   Have you ever heard of it?

 

Does anyone know anything of this "Centura"?
