Jim,

Thank you for the thought. I guess I would go ahead with VFP6 default framework. I'd seen how VPM handles users' security or previlege, and I like this feature to be in my app, at the same time, I don't like the way VPM handle most of the works in a not-so-OOP way. It is not possible to employ both frameworks in my app. What would you recommend if one found he/she needs only one feature in (the extreme case) each of every commercial framework available in the market? What should he/she do in order to have them all?

Thanks again,
juan

It supports read events, non-read events (sub apps), and developer tools creation. It is quite complex in supporting all of these varied types of applications.

Your requirements are not exactly the same as anyone else's. This fact makes it difficult to select the BEST framework for yurself, as the advice of others is not all that helpful in making the choice.
