What do you like about this subject?
The fact that I have so much experience in it makes it easy to use.
What do you still hope to achieve/learn in this field?
I would love to create a program in Delphi for printing ID cards, forms, and other documents using data from a variety of databases.
Something interesting about this subject that others may not know:
I have created work-arounds for the Windows API Multiple document interface limitations making it possible to have maximized and normal forms in the same MDI parent. I've created a custom reporting engine with an integrated preview system.
