Thanks. Could u give me a verbal description of what would be the contents of the bizobj for 'Customer' or 'Musician' and how would UI controls be 'associated' with the bizobj. I am comfortable with the concept of OOP but get stymied at the implementation stage.

'Enhanced Bizobj' means enhanced as per MMdoc ver2.o or is that not sufficient ?

Hope you dont mind my questions - i am trying very hard to understand this. Thanks, once again

It's hard to make the mental leap between a real-world object such as an Invoice to a VFP Class that represents the characteristics and functionality of an Invoice. I recommend Savannah Brentnall's "Object Orientation in Visual FoxPro" (Addison Wesley - ISBN 0-201-47943-5) for developers who are climbing the VFP OOP learning curve. It really helps solidify many of these concepts.

Would i need to modify any of the classes to handle pageframes ? Or will the CB3 modified as per MMdoc Ver 2 take care of this automatically ?

However, with the newly enhanced business objects, this is no longer true...and as I stated previously, I don't recommend binding user interface controls to the business object; just drop the business object on the form and then drop the associated user interface controls on the form.
