Hi Jess,

>I never said "develop all the time from scratch." Mike knows it. I even said I salute the guy who did framework out of several frameworks. Try to review the thread, my first statement says that "you can use VFP framework as the based..." and suddenly Mike reacted and blown everything beyond perspective. The topic did'nt say "Is VFE a good framework?" It is a general question about framework and I did answered it in general.

OK, many of your other statements sound like (or can be understand like): Don't buy a commercial framework, they are expensive, you don't need them and you make yourself dependent on the manufacturer. If you didn't meant it that way, that's great. Therefore let me ask you a question:

If someone needs a framework, is it better

a) to buy one or more commercial frameworks, study them and make modification to one of them or combine several in order to adjust them to one's needs, or

b) to ignore commercial frameworks and start writing one's own framework?
