>>Usually a good framework is more interested in the plumbing - data access and business layer - that the UI and IMO VFP UI is never going to look "modern" because it isn't. The UI looks 1990's and just the pain of integrating Activex controls that didn't come from one fox friendly vendor - DBITech - was a lesson that the options were very limited without a *lot* of time invested.

Forgot about VFPX. Good point and I think if UI is what is needed that is definitely the way to go. if one is going to bring a FPW 2.6 app into VFP just for UI VPFX will offer a lot more than frameworks that were pretty much designed and written 10-15 years ago to address n-tier , business object and data access issues.

Though a good deal is too strange to be believed, nothing is too strange to have happened.
- Thomas Hardy
Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm-- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.
-- T. S. Eliot
Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for lunch.
Liberty is a well-armed sheep contesting the vote.

Pardon him, Theodotus. He is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature.
