>I got an advertisement in the mail today from MS about VFP 6.0. The ad says 6.0 comes with a framework and class libraries. What are some early opinions of the included framework? Is it easy to learn/use? I'm still using 5.0 and am considering the 6.0 pro upgrade.

Greg,

The framework included with VFP6 is designe to be used without knowing anything about how it works. It does a good job of achieving that goal. However, if you want to extend or modify the frmaework that is another story. In order to best enhance any framework you must understand how it works. Framework complexity is directly related to flexibility. The more flexible a framework is the more complex its code is.

The VFP6 framework is very flexible and therefore the code is quite complex.

In addition to the inlcuded frmaework there will be other third pary frmaeworks available. I know F1 Technologies is planning on a Visual FoxExpress for VFP6 and I am sure the other framework vendors will also be providing updates to their products.
