I haven't seen the vfp6 foundation classes yet. They seem to get mixed reviews, but generally positive, from people here. No one endorses the wizard classes in WIZSTYLE as a framework, but if you are modifying a legacy app built with the form wizard, or want to use its search class, for example, copying and modifying its classes seems like the way to go.
