Hi,

I have read that FormCalc has higher performance that JavaScript in Reader. I find that reference syntax is much more forgiving and the error messages much more valuable. And as mentioned, there are some great functions in FormCalc. So, for a number of good reasons, FormCalc can be the best choice in many situations, regradless of programming experience.

FormCalc is limited in that you can't make your own functions and store them in a script object like JavaScript. And now with the latest version ADEP Designer 3.0, there is a new feature that allows referencing JavaScripts in external files. I haven't played with that, but it opens the door to some interesting JavaScript possibilities.

Cheers!
