Sarah;

I made my determination of which framework to use the hard way – I used more than one. After doing so you can make a determination of which is best for you or the job at hand. You could ask for the experiences of others. If you will choose one and use it to its full capabilities you might get to a point where you realize limitations. A question is then how easy is it to modify the framework if required?

If I am working with others I find that a framework like Visual FoxExpress is good. On the other hand – if I am working alone – I use Visual MaxFrame Professional. Just a matter of personal preference but this combination works for me.

One question I will pose to anyone who wishes to use a framework - what type of support do you receive and how is it obtained? Is there an on line forum where you can get help? Check into this very carefully!
