David,

I'm not familiar with Account Mate, but it sounds like your hands are really tied with what little they are providing you in the way of source code. From what your saying, you may be able to "integrate" a framework and your custom forms/reports from a users perspective, but it certainly won't be that way under the hood. At best, it seems you can only add on, not integrate.

Depending on what your customizations are like, your benefit from a framework will be limited. Especially 3 tier ones like MM.

If you can customize the AM menu to make calls to your code, then you could possible drop into a full frameworks environment and run your code within it as long as you do not have any object naming conflicts with AM.

But if your heavily using existing AM data files, this approach loses some ( not all ) of its appeal as business objects you might use for AM data would only be used by your code and not the AM code itself.

>The developer can add new forms of their own, and manipulate the data driven menu system to call them. Ideally, I would like to have all my NEW AM forms and/or forms as classes be 'MM' or 'CM' (codemine) compliant. Perhaps I could launch the MM or CM framework from within Amaddon? As for modifying existing AM forms - hmm, sounds like a hard one, so for now I won't even go there.
