Are you talking about the Tastrade framework? I've been using a modified
version of this framework in 15 or so different apps during the past 6
years.

For small apps that deal with local data, the framework built upon the ffc
is fine. Once you get into specialized needs, security, server based data,
etc, the framework that ships with VFP is not well suited to the task.

Finally, let your experience be your guide. If it works for you, then it is
a good framework...
