CodeMine because I use it and it's the only one I used so far. So nothing too original in my choice here <g>

>2. What purpose would each Framework serve?
>a. Reporting

Because money's not an issue I'd recommend Stonefield Reports. I saw a demo from Doug Hennig and it looks like a very good tool. And one of the cool thing about it is that no matter the framework you use or stay with vanilla based VFP it'll work nicely just as well.

>b. Database Maintenance

Stonefield Database Toolkit. Simply the best. Hmmm It's beginning to look like StoneField is paying me for those good words. Trust me and the others using the tools those are really great!

>c. Internet frontend

I would'nt know what ro recommend because I don't use one. So I'll keep quiet here.

>d. VFP Standard FrontEnd

CodeMine is covering that area pretty well.

>3. What Frameworks do you currently use? (May be different from #1)

CodeMine. Did I say that before? ;-) The thing that I really like about Codemine is that I never had to change the way I program to adapt to the framework. I heard that this can be the case with other frameworks.

>4. If you could only buy one Framework, which one would it be?

You know my answer to that one.


Another suggestion. Get the demos of apps that were made with each framework. You can get a demo from http://www.codemine.com.

I'm sure that you'll have other suggestions. But in the end I think that your decision should be based on which framework better suits your needs. Which one you think you'll be more confortable with.
