Can you be open to this:
Is it possible that a developer has been building high end applications a long time - and just maybe - has a library (frame-work) that surpasses commercially developed ones. This could be the case. Would you think it possible a developer without a commercial framework could build better systems than developers using a frame work? Do frameworks anticipate the weakest link?

>LOL... boy are you in a dark. I suggest you follow the link I gave you, do a search here on the word "framework", and look around the tradeshow if you ever get to a VFP Developer Conference. I think you'll realize rather quickly the only way "simple requirements" applies to the subject of frameworks is in terms of "what you can do without a framework"
