The rub comes when you want something really unique and requires learning what's under it's hood. You can customize it, but you have to be careful you don't disable the functionality of the FoxExpress paradigm. It's not impossible to customize, you just have to proceed carefully. FoxExpress is totally event-driven. Depending on what version of FoxPro you use and what machine you must run it on, this could be a problem sometimes. Some folks I know rejected FoxExpress because they felt that the event-driven model was too slow on 486-33s running FPW2.6. You'll have to be the judge on that. It has a lot of great features built right in to the framework, so you don't have to reinvent the wheel. It does not provide full source code for the Foxfire! report writer. <g> But, because it too is now Codebook compliant, it offers fairly seamless cross-product operation between the two products. It's not for everybody, but it works for me in most cases. ==Carl
