Hi Neil:

There are some frameworks for VFP on Universalthread. I don't know if they
will help, but you can download them and see. Go to
www.universalthread.com, click on the VFP Zone icon, and choose Downloads
icon. In the Summary text box of the query page, search for "framework."

You might also want to post this in the VFP Forum on UT for greater
coverage. You have to register to post a question, but the sign up is
free.

I hope this helps.
