>I am currently researching before I purchase a Framework. I have looked around and have narrowed it down to the Mere Mortals Framework (seems strongest for developing business objects) and Visual MaxFrame Professional (seems strongest for user interface objects). I am leaning a little more towards Mere Mortals (business objects are important), but it appears not to include a sophisticated report interface would allows users to specify selection criteria (also important).

You can download a report framework extension to Mere Mortals I wrote from:
http://www.kirtlandsys.com/Tools%20Page.htmIt supports Crystal Reports 8.5 (and, of course, VFP reports). It's free and includes a help file to get you started. Download it and see if it adds the type of reporting capabilities you're looking for.
BTW - I've used both VMP and MM's and I MUCH prefer Mere Mortals. The documentation is excellent and the framework is well designed.
