When looking at the data class of the framework, I found that this class was bouncing on two additional data classes for specific functionalities. In some of those bounces, the reference was done at the global level and not within the actual object. In order to ease the data management code, I merged those two data classes into the main data class. So, everything is now into one data class and can be referenced as loDataProvider. Thus, when an instance of that class will be created, everything needed for its functionalities will be within it. The only method calls that will be done outside of that class, from that class, will be those in the global application methods that are not data centric.

As much of what was merged into the main data class was mainly framework specific, I only had to adjust the framework and four .vb files in one application and 2 .vb files in another.

I will see how it goes for the next hours.
