Been there, done that, feel your pain. The wizards and framework that came with VFP aren't to my liking, and like you, it was such a small project that I just rewrote it. I *do* use some of the ffc's as defined in Markus Egger's Advanced OOP with VFP6 book, iirc. Some of the classes are handy, but the framework and wizards sucked for a good developer, imo. -- Mike Babcock, MCP MB Software Solutions, LLC President, Chief Software Architect http://mbsoftwaresolutions.com http://fabmate.com http://twitter.com/mbabcock16 _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[email protected] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
