We are currently using CreateForm and are stuck in the sameMIDRANGE-L-Zwy7GipZuJhWk0Htik3J/w@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To subscribe,
predicament. We "accidentally" found out that our current 5.5 version
(last iSeries based version) will NOT run under V5R4 according to
Bottomline. (If anyone out there can prove me otherwise, I would love
to hear from you). I have had a little taste of the 2.7 product that
you're referring to and I'm not pleased with it. It does have lots
more bells and whistles but it is definitely a major MIGRATION, not an
easy upgrade to get to that newer product. We have LOTS of forms and
the migration would likely take us months. The one advantage I see
moving forward with CreateForm is adding on the CreateEmail and
possibly CreateFax products. We are getting more and more needs for
emailing of things and our current version does not support it.
I can't seem to get my boss to understand the urgency of making a
decision on this one as well. I'm actually attending a webinar on the
FormFlex product (from DRV) today and it is completely iSeries-based I
understand. And I mean you actually setup the forms on the 400 side
of things, no PC-based design product. To be honest, I actually
really like having the design side of things be on a GUI PC based
product and being able to ship the final product up to the iSeries and
I would hate to give that up but I'll just have do some digging I
guess. I also would like to hear about some other products that we
should look into. Our forms are not overly "complex", just have lots
of them (checks, invoices, PO's, etc). And I'm changing something all
the time. Canadians just changed their check format so had lots of
work there, for example.

Subject: Create!Form migration
Hi,
How many out there use(d) Create!Form?
Those that do would know that it has kind of dropped iSeries support
and new versions are all Windows based.
I want to know what you guys did. Did you stick with Create and
migrate all your forms. How did it go? Performance better or worse?
Are you glad you stuck with Create or do you wish you had used the
opportunity to move to another package and keep it iSeries native?
For those that didn't stick with Create, did you find a product that
could match the features of Create so you didn't lose anything in the
product change?
We are in a bind as to whether to stick with Create or to move on. We
aren't against Windows products, it is just that it is nice to have
everything in one place.
Create is a good product, but I will say the new designer interface
takes a lot of getting used to and the move away from iSeries has
taken some of the shine off the product.
So, I really just wanted some of your thoughts on this and see what
path some of you have taken.
Thanks
Regards
Nathan Simpson
