I don't know that Promatrix does this and I would be very surprised if it did. I would expect that you can use Promatrix AND your classes both and get the advantages of the Promatrix framework and the use of your custom classes. Of cours you may need to modify your classes to work within the framework.

Do you know of any particular VFP frameworks that have this problem?
