My one and only contribution to this increasingly non-RPG thread.

To the original poster, go ahead and use Visual Age for RPG. You already paid for it, you already use RPG and it sounds like you want a thick client. No run-time fees of any kind, and you can create Windows stand-alone applications not needing a System i.

To Joe, you know I deeply respect your views on many things. You are completely correct in saying that we _should_ be able to disable the back button. No matter how beautiful and right that concept is, it simply does not exist in the wild where we have to write applications today. So we are forced to write browser based applications knowing that a user can and will navigate backward a page. In my case anyway, it has nothing to do with being blinded by technology: there is no alternative.
