>>Very interesting results. No, I don't need to open that many of them. And the time to open is not a concern but rather how much memory and resources the object takes, even if one is open. I don't even know how to find out what memory and resources footprint this or that object takes. But, in the end, your test proves that what I perceive to be "heavy" maybe is not such a bad thing. I will definitely consider Form now as a base for my business object class.
>>Thank you very much!

>Don't use form as a base class for biz obj. In MereMortals we use container based class, because it also has DELoader and a label to show the name of the class. It also comes with a very nice builder (though seems to have some bug in VFP9).

Thank you, Nadya.
