I currently use Kevin's MM VFP framework. I too feel that his exposure is very important and highly valuable. I am practically 100% going to buy his MM.Net framework before July of this year. In fact being able to move to his MM.Net framework is one of the reasons I decided to use his VFP framework. Not in that I am expecting strong similarities but more that if I ask questions in the future referencing the VFP framework in explinations may be easier to understand.

That being said I am looking more for what areas the MM.Net framework may need to be supplemented with other tools or modified heavily, etc, etc. I am also interested in features of MM.Net that are not available or weakly supported in other frameworks.

>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.
