Hi Kam,
I would give DataClas/VFP a good look before writing your own framework or purchasing another. Hundreds of hours have gone into DataClas/VFP and it works great for developing client/server applications.
If you go to
www.redmatrix.com you can download the eval version and full documentation of the product.
We have some very large applications that use DataClas (including one that is now 500GB. Yes that was not a typo we have a 500 GB applictation at a bank.)
Also the price for DataClas/VFP cant be beat for what it does and the amount of work you would spend building something equivalent.
Let me know if you have any questions.....
