This may be a bug in the driver. Every once and a while when we throw a new
application a the driver we find some imperfections in its implementation. This
is our first attempt at dbAnywhere. I am sure we can straighten this out, but we
are backed up right now.

Much of what you are experiencing is one time start-up cost. For you this is a
new database and a new IDE. For us, this is the first time with dbAnywhere.
These problems will work themselves out; future dbAnywhere users will hopefully
benefit from your experience.
To your question "What are you using for RAD Java apps?" VB5 :-)
