The strongest thing going for MM.net is constant innovation. Kevin's product has evolved from the codebook days in vfp through .net. He has consistently supported his product and is available for on-line help and off-line training. You couldn't ask for a better combination.


>Thanks for the reply. Can you tell me what are some points that you like about MM.Net and the things you don't like? There isn't much talks of frameworks for .Net yet because of the complexity of .Net it seems to me like most people should be using one or another.

>>Which tool fits the bill really depends on the type of application(s) you are creating and what parts of application code generation you would like assistance.
>>Some generate really aweful code that would be difficult to follow or maintain post generation without continuing to have to use the tool (e.g. DeKlarit).
>>Some assume you already have a database while some assume you want to create a new database.
>>Some help with WinForm and WebForm generation and some include support for integrating 3rd party tools into the GUI (Win or Web)?
>>Some only use stored procedures for data access and some will not permit stored procedures for data access.
