Wow! You don't want much!! :)

Actually I doubt any commercial framework is less complicated -- just complicated in a different way. The almost certainly will be better documented, though.

I use my own framework which has stewed and simmered for a few years, so I like it's flavor just fine. Consequently I have nothing constructive to offer on using the VFP6 framework -- except that if M$ thought it was going to be easy for beginners to use, they were greatly mistaken.

Frankly, the best approach is to dig into the framework and see what it does. Its one good way to learn about OOP in general and VFP in particular.

Sorry I have no quick solution for you. Migrating from procedure code to OOP is a fairly long learning curve.
