>>It looks like a framework for our existing application is out of the question, but incorporating separate components into it is not. We are looking at dbi-tech's component toolbox and wondering if anyone has any experience using them and incorporating them into their apps. Is it tricky? Worth the cost? Is it any quicker developing using their tools than in vanilla vfp? Here is the link:
