Am I right in assuming that Windev has no inbuilt capabilities around workflow and rules based processing. I am looking for a good development tool that provides these features. Any feedback appreciated.

If you establish your own rules then there are triggers to support their implementation and V9 has clientserver which should mean that triggers can be implemented at the server level. The database supports very limited application of masks, initial content etc. Global procedures and classes can also be used to provide and maintain rules, but you need to write these yourself. In terms of a consistent GUI there are style sheets and a dictionary. There are integrity constraints that can be set in the database but these are mainly of use during development and testing rather than having any ongoing ability as a basis for rules.

Al,
thanks for the response. I think you know where I am coming from. If you look at the direction of development toolkits today they appear to be splitting out the development of the GUI and underlaying processes etc. I have a project that I want to start on and I am looking for a platform independant tool that is going to allow me to develop a web based solution. It will initially need to support open source products such as MYSQL but probably move to database such as Oracle and DB2. Being brought up on tools such as Oracle and Uniface etc I am unsure to aim for a C/S or Object solution around RAD altough I do want to experiment around the capabilities of version 9 to produce a Java solution so I am keen to start on version 9 ASAP.

Based on your comments for graphical rather than hand coded programming, I don't think Windev is the tool for you.
I would look very seriously at http://www.f1tech.com/VFE/
I used an earlier framework from F1 Tech when I programmed in Foxpro and it was an amazing tool. Their Visual Foxpro framework is a structured multi-tier rules based system that might appeal to you.
