John, I'm not 100% positive but your pricing may not be correct for 5722-ID1. "Infoprint Designer is a client-server product which has a single charge unit. The charge unit is the number of installed licenses of the product. Only one license can be installed on a single iSeries Server." I would see it as a list price of $6995 for a server. Perhaps still expensive but cheaper than $5000 per seat. Michael Crump Manager, Computing Services Saint-Gobain Containers, Inc. 1509 S.

Unfortunately, Code Designer has not been updated in years, and never was able to do AFP documents. I know there is a program called Infoprint Designer that provides a WSYWIG way of defining AFP documents, but the product is prohibitively priced at $5000 U.S. per workstation, plus additional fees for the server component. At that price, Infoprint Designer is just another nail in the coffin of the iSeries around here. I realize that we can hand craft the DDS, but that's very time consuming and error prone. It's just not something that I'm willing to waste my time doing for the sole purpose of keeping the printing on the iSeries. Our choices boil down to either finding a reasonably priced iSeries alternative to Designer, or moving our printing onto the PC platform. I'm writing the list to see if anyone knows of an alternative to Designer. If you have something that you're currently using and happy with, I'd love to hear about it. Vendors are welcome to reply directly to my email address. Just a thought... but shouldn't Designer have been rolled into WDSC anyway? Business applications tend to require forms printing. Why don't we have a modern forms designer included in our development toolset? Regards, John Taylor
