At VFP class, the instructor told us that it's a good idea to make the whole application into an object. He did it using the application wizard. I tried that, but kept running into problems. I'd rather do it myself, anyway. I don't like wizards because I like to know what all the code in my app means. The best way for me to figure something out is to do it myself.

Michelle:

One place to look for an example of putting most housekeeping functions in an application object is the Tastrade example that comes with VFP5 (I think, I know it came with VFP3). When I started out with VFP several years ago, I used the Tastrade application object as a model -- and it worked out pretty well.

It's worth a look.
