Gar,

MMF is great, but you have to do a lot of coding yourself, a really good understanding of OO and the framework itself.

All your requierments are met (in my opinion) by codemine. It's very powerfull, flexible and easy to use.





>One way of evaluating frameworks is to look at how they perform for specific instances. Anyone have comments on how the major frameworks they use would perform in the following applications:
>
>1) We have one form which probably needs to be hand coded, unlikely to fit into any general framework. How hard will it be to plug this hand coded form into mosts of the RAD tools/ Frameworks mentioned (Codemine, mere mortals, VFE, promatrix) etc.
>
>2) We would like improved triggers -- ones that do not include the documented bugs in VFP's standard triggers, and which also take trigger error messages as a parameter. Yes, you can do this by hand in error handling or hand modify the VFP triggers, but the point of buying a framework or RAD tools is to avoid hand coding standard stuff.

>3) We need OK security (better is fine, but we can live with really mediocre) but we need to be able to assign rights down to the field level. As I understand it all the frameworks can do this -- but some just provide hooks for field level security, whereas others actually do field level security for you.
>4)Our users want to do QBF navigation rather than VCR navigation on some forms.
>5) We want a really robust error routine -- one we can configure to keep a running log of errors on the users local hard drive, and customize some of the error messages, and perhaps customize error handling for certain errors.
>
>Final question, are we really better off with a framework? As an alternative, might we be better off buying indivual components/class libraries that are oriented towards customization? Or is all this stuff so standard that all the frameworks will handle it with no problem?
