Mine is just giving a possible alternative. Mine is conditional, if a framework meets his requirements then so be it, but if not, he as a developer could write his own. And, I would emphasize the long term impact is more beneficial and convenient on his part.

>ours was the most logical choice.

Really!!!

>Of course anyone that uses any framework should study the architechture, however, that certainly doesn't mean they shouldn't upgrade. The cost of any of the VFP frameworks and the price of upgrades is easily offset by the cost of man hours to develop even a fraction of the features.

That's basically what I wanted to emphasize, 'dependency'... to whom, MS and framework owners.
