Thanks Linda. It seems both StrataFrame and MM .NET both started in the FoxPro world. I now have evaluation versions for both of them so this weekend, and a few others, will be spent getting under the hood and seeing what makes them tick. My main concern at the moment is that I want a framework that doesn't tie you in to doing things in a particular way, allows flexibility if a project is a bit different than the norm. I guess a lot of this comes down to working with the framework and not trying to fight it.

Cheers, Keith

I have tried both live and on-line classes and have been pleased with both. Good luck.
