>Thanks Carole! I just ordered that book, as well as "Build Your Own Framework with VFP". I am still debating whether to invest in a 3rd party framework like VFE. I did use their FPD & FPW tools. I just went to Codemine's site and d'loaded their sample appl, but it won't fire up under VFP
9 (can't find VFP library).

Too bad the sample did'nt work with VFP9 because I used to work with that framework and it's pretty good. Did you tell that to the makers of CodeMine? I'm sure they would help you in that regard. Or perhaps you could start a new thread in the CodeMine section over here. Perhaps someone could help you.
