>>>>Can I get some opinions on a few of the frameworks that are on the market? I believe the two most popular are Visual Express and Visual ProMatrix. I have recently seen a few others as well. I am trying to select a strategic product to use in the development of multi-user software that will be marketed to private business and public organizations. I am looking for a much shorter development time, good performance from the end application, security, client/server support, and hopefully the framework will be easy to use, well documented, and have good technical support. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Steve,

For what's it is worth, I just purchased most of them and am using Drew Speedie's Visual MaxFrame Professional.
