Greetings,
If this is not the place for my question, please advise and forgive. I've written to Pre-Sales a few times, but do not get detailed or completely helpful answers.
A friend uses A4V6 for his business and has for years. I want to duplicate his entire application, i.e. database, forms, memo fields etc. I was told I could import these things into A5, but it has not been made clear if would be workable or if it would require a lot of programing and design changes. I've evaluated A5 latest version for 6 days and have gotten almost nowhere. I guess I need an A5 for Dummies book! The help files do not seem very detailed as to importing and transitioning these files.
Everything points to A5 for the future, but I'm more concerned about now, as I cannot afford the training I would need, based upon the classes I've seen, and I certainly can't afford the average $1500 everyone seems to want to design the application I need using A5. If I could actually import his and make it work, I could worry about the transition to A5 overtime as I developed.
I guess my question would be if I purchased A4V8, would it be easier to duplicate the exact program I need rather than trying to learn A5? I've used his frequently and am quite accustomed to it. Based on my trial thus far, A5 seems a little too complicated for me.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
