You might also compare with TASTRADE, and if you get vfp6 (which I haven't), look at its new framework.

>Sylvain,
>I think that most of us are either using a commercial framework (like Codebook or Visual MaxFrame) or have designed our own buttons. As you are seeing, it is difficult to customize the Wizard designed buttons. However, they WILL give you lots of ideas about what you want and don't want on your OWN buttons. Try designing simple buttons first, adding code to take care of various contingencies as you think of them (multiple tables to ADD to, handling child tables that need foreign keys, etc.).

>>Just a question that has been wandering through my mind:
>>
>>Do you use the form/buttonset generated by VFP's form wizard or have you re-written your own?
>>
>>I currently use the wizard-generated one because I haven't had the time to write my own (I've begun but it's not fully functionnal yet), but I think it would be better to use one I would have written myself because I sometimes feel that the ButtonSet is working against me.

>>First example that comes to mind is when you have a grid in a form and you click "Add", it pops up a window asking if I want to add in the parent and/or the child table. Although I have worked around this, I still feel it's holding me back.

>>Similar thing goes for the error-handling...
