I have started (a couple of weeks) into developing a major application. I decided to use the VFP6 Framework as a basis, trusting that it would be sufficiently good for my purpose.

However I have found that again and again I am running into trouble with the framework, where even very simple things, such as programming a "Delete Record" button are incredibly difficult because of the immense degree of "indirect-ion" and "objectification" and I can't find my way through all this. It seems to be very sophisticated, however too sophisticated for my liking.

Which framework would be the easiest to learn for an old FP2.6-type-of-guy with a lot of 2.6-and-before experience?

On the other hand I don't want to stick with 2.6 either, there are many great features in VFP6.0 etc.

Should I look at MaxFrame, FoxExpress, or another product. Or should I simply see if I can find better documentation for the existing VFP6.0 Framework, or just wait and hope that there will be better documentation.

Ideally I'd like to have a framework that makes it easy to do things, and which also allows to migrate an application easily to SQL-Server.
