[AccessD] Frameworks, what are they?

It may at least get me to the "big picture place" to see how it should be
done, if only at a basic level.

Is your framework documented?

Thanks For Your Help!!

Robert,

The only example I have of a running framework is my own.  Unfortunately it
is so complex at this point it would be undecipherable to anyone but me I'm
afraid.  You have heard me discuss the various functionalities I have placed
into my framework.  In order to understand my stuff you would have to wade
through all that stuff I have mentioned.  I am certainly willing to post it
somewhere with an application that uses it so that you can see how I do
things but I'm truly uncertain whether a discussion could address my
framework without getting pretty deep pretty fast.

A framework is really nothing more than a skeleton upon which you hang an
application.  As you need more functionality, if it is generic and useful to
the next app you add it to the framework.  In this day and age, you really
need to be thinking classes however since they allow you to set up
containers for related functionality.

I am going to cc the list however.  We have many developers who have
developed their own framework.  I have never seen anyone else's so I can't
vouch for how complex they are now how conceptually similar to what I do,
but if we address the list, perhaps we can get a discussion going on this
stuff.

John,
 I have really appreciated the help over the last few months in regards to
"DEEP" programming, your examples have been very helpful. I'm intrigued with
"framework" idea however I have no idea where to get started. My question
is; do you have any examples of a running "framework", or any books that
explain how to set this sort of thing up?

Thanks Again!!
Robert Gracie
