Hi,


I just started rewriting one of our projects with VFP7 and MM6.12 framework (I am afraid I haven't gotten very far). Each version of our product is custom (no two are the same). I need to come up with a base version, which I can modify per client specs.

It was suggested (by Kevin) that I should modify the generic project to create my base, and then run qstart to create the application to start my customizations for the client. Sound right on the money to me (but then again I am a young skull full of mush when it comes to Mere Mortals so I believe just about anything right now <g>)!

Some questions:

1)- I boot up VFP7 and start up MM by CD or Set Default to the projmgr6 dir where I have MM installed (g:\vfpdev\myappname\projmgr6) and run startmm, open up the generic project located in the generic directory. Sound right? If I try to run startmm in the generic dir it bombs because it can't find builderb, etc...

2)- I, of course, need to create new tables and views. Do I add these to the generic database, or create my own?

3)- The reason I asked the last question is because I can not create a data environment for my new table. I am following the steps in the jump start guide (using the builder), and referring to the appropriate sections in the dev guide. I successfully create a business object and am now trying to create a data environment for it. I press the new icon under "Data Environment Settings" box. The "Based On" defaults to "projmgrenvironment". I fill in the rest, hit okay. When I then try and add my view, it is not listed. It appears that all the views listed are from the projmgr project, not the generic project. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks,
