Topic: A Third Party Application Model

Many applications are designed to solve a specific problem. The design of a multi-purpose product must solve problems that have not yet been defined. In order to do this, a different application structure is required. This discussion will include: data driven product definition and behavior, multiple modification levels, and a unique approach to addressing Micorsoft SQL Server tables from within a FoxPro application.
