I go on in programming with Strataframe, an meanwhile I'm going to plan a real world application. For that I have several questions, wich I hope are not to stupid to post...

1. Application frame

I'm not sure if it is the right phrase for my question, but I try to explain... In DotNET an Application starts with a form. I think that form is the form wich I would use as a Main form like we have had in Visual FoxPro, the FoxPro-Window, where we place our menu, Main-Toolbar and use it as a background for our application. Is there in Strataframe a similar way to develop applications? Is there a tamplate for it, or have I to create that "Mainwindow" on my own?

2. Strataframe forms, messages etc.

To localize my app I want to use the build in localization tool. But what is with all the Strataframe forms, like the form what is directing the enduser to its database? How can I translate these texts? I can't find these texts within the Localization and Messaging Editor.

3. Datapath

You know in VFP we usually have our database in a folder located under our project folder and VFP is working with relative paths during runtime. DotNET is working with static paths. What is your favorite solution to enable a free installation location for data ( I want to use VFP tables) as well as for the localizations xml files?

I think thats all for the moment. Thanks in advance
