Programming
Our
first love... where it all started, and still a major component
of the services we offer.
Developed
by Data Access Corporation, Dataflex is synonomous with blazing
fast database access and compatibility across a wide variety of
platforms in its character-mode procedural and OOPs versions. Recent
years have seen the addition of Windows GUI (VDF) and non-native
database support, as well as the Web Application server (WebApp).
APG's
senior developers have literally decades of experience starting
with Dataflex version 1.6 through OOPs, Visual Dataflex (VDF), and
WebApp Server. Our work spans the country. Our references speak
for themselves.
APG
entered the 3rd party tool market in 1994 as creators of the
Extended Report Package (ExReport.pkg) and Virtual
Browser (VBrowz) for object oriented Dataflex.
