PMFJI all but - Terry - the issue was never "commercial" vs "your own". As a vertical market app director of development I have coded my own framework that does what I need it to and skips a lot of the overhead of a commercial framework.

But the point you seemed to be arguing was "no framework" over "any kind of framework". Whether you just miscommunicated or are truly clueless - I still don't know - but from your last post it sounds like we all may be talking apples and oranges here.

>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"
