>Does anyone have any opinion about whether or not the Application Framework (built into VFP 6) is worth using?

>For app devevlopment using past versions of VFP, I have used my own "frameworks" - mainly because the Application Wizards were so buggy and overly complicated. Nothing fancy, but at least I knew what was in there (and that I understood my own class libraries well enough to fix any bugs).

Right on both accounts. You get what you pay for, Documentation included. But knowing what you did top to bottom has it's advange points.

I think that it is realy a time issue where how fast do you need it running. Purchasing one is much faster! So if time is not on your side....
