Thanks Gary, all good things to hear. I have stayed away from commercial frameworks for some of the reasons you say CodeMine does NOT have, so I hope all goes well!

>I am new to Codemine but I really think it is the business. It's OOP implementation is brilliant and despite the lack of builders/wizards etc., it's structure lets you get right on creating the application. Also, you are able to stay very close to Fox - you are not kept away. There are some very nice features that are not even mentioned in the ads. For example, I am developing an App that uses 2.6 tables. A lot of the data is stored in character codes. Every Codemine control has a LoadTranslation method and a StoreTranslation method. This allows you to modify that data from the data source for presentation in the CM control and then, you can convert the data back to a different format for data storage. Excellent stuff. Also, the Codemine Datamanager class is just brilliant. Load tables in the DE, set relationships at many levels - Codemine just analyses the relationships and manages all cursors. Add, change, delete records and one Save will ripple through and do the job. I am
>absolutely delighted with it and it is allowing me to re-create a very large, complex application (from 2.6) and keeps delivering everying I need, that I didn't know I needed until I actually needed it <bg>. Go on, dive in - highly recommended.

>>Anyone have comments on Codemine; positive, negative, etc.? I have a new client that has it in use and wants me to continue its use for the work I will be doing for them, but I have not used it before. I'd appreciate any feedback at all about it.
