I created a framework for my n-tier solutions, and integrated MakeUpdatable, and it works well! My plan has been to use MySQL on the backend, so that if/when I ever migrate from VFP to Dabo, PHP, or whatever...there's a great chance I won't have to retool the backend. In fact, they can continue using the VFP front end on Wine (LOL!) while I create the replacement versions in the other dev tool. Also, it allows me to create additional add-ons in other tools and use them alongside of the VFP apps without issue. _______________________________________________ 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.
