The only framework I'll recommend to you is Visual Fox Express. All frameworks have a huge learning curve. I use Visual MaxFrame Professional. It provides both monolithic and n-tier approaches. That may be a good thing for backward compatibility, but not for a newbie. With VFE you'll be learning the right things.

>As a VFP newbie, I too am looking into 3rd party frameworks. I read thru all your messages in this thread and wonder what decision you finally made? I must say I do like the affordability of VPM (standard version) at $50! Sounds like an inexpensive way to check out a framework, decide what works for you and what doesn't etc. Even if you do not end up staying with it, you'll probably have a better idea of what you do want in some other framework...
