[AccessD] Re: [Private] Framework Discussion - Dependent Objects

Hi Jim

Ha ha, hit by the Colby flames! Welcome to the club!

I read it too and wondered - but I guess that's the way he is and that
it doesn't mean so much. Remember the days of Drew and JC? Eventually
they cooled down. And internationalization?

He just loves his framework as a child, so I've chosen to keep my mouth
shut. Also, and seriously, I find my forms so diverse and often highly
specialized as I can't see a framework fit in and certainly not worth
spending the time to build it. If inheritance was possible, I might
reconsider, but I guess that won't ever happen.
