Agreed. Developing your own framework is undoubtedly a rewarding learning experience, and I do not criticize those who do so. But I am not arrogant enough to think I could equal the work of some of the finest developers in our business (Rick Strahl, Drew Speedie, the Feltmans, etc.) -- work that has been battle hardened by thousands of users beating on it on a daily basis -- in any sort of cost effective way. No matter how low a value I put on my time, I can't justify trying to reproduce products that sell for a few hundred bucks. It would take me thousands of hours of work, if not more, and the end result wouldn't be as good. To me it wouldn't be a rational business decision to go that way.

>Terry, that is a very unfair and unrealistic comment. I only venture in here to set the message straight to any potential new VFP developers out there who may mistakenly understand your statement to mean that only unskilled developers would use a framework. I hope that was not the message you intended to convey...>
