I purchased this software from an Amazon affiliate for one reason: Paradox for Windows. Nevertheless, curiousity stung me so I loaded the entire PerfectOffice also to try it out. What a let down.
First, Paradox. This database has, most unfortunately, not been properly maintained by Corel, not even thoroughly debugged. When I got an error message saying that my master table needed a master table, , I know Paradox was now an utter waste of time. If Corel would develop the product on an investment basis instead of waiting for the market to catch up with it, they could blow the doors off Recess (Access). Paradox supports so many more features, like good table cursors, dynArrays, better function library, better identification of objects, etc. But Corel doesn't have the clout in the database market of Microsoft, so they won't.
Regarding the rest of PerfectOffice, it is far from perfect. Prepare for a breathtaking letdown. It is so user-insensitive compared to MS Office that one minute with either WordPerfect or Quattro Pro will have you running for your MS Office apps. You may be shocked at how crude PerfectOffice is. How could they release these products? I uninstalled them and returned them for my money back in 3 days.
