Hi Walter, Personally I think some times MFC is too complicated for learners. So as templates. They tend to create maintaince nigthmare. First it looks great for development, but once the product/project is in production and all the developer are moved to another project its hard for the continuation engineering team to pick up. I would say MS initative in .net and C# are in the right direction of simplifying things. Probably some thing like attribute based programming in C++ and a frameworks based on that would be best of world. Ramanan
