>*laughing* .... I guess I'm mad at times

Vernon,
Probably we UTers here directed you to the wrong way unintentionally. Here we post form samples in code and I think that's the reason you're asking this. However in reality everyone uses the visual designers (using wizards is not suggested).
For whatever reason if you need code version then you can use 'class browser' and 'view code' to get the code represantation (doesn't work 100%). Forms and visual classes are kept in scx and vcx files which are tables by themselves and they also have the info you're writing down manually. Furthermore anytime during design you could use some functions and commands and directly write the code version with a custom program (the way how builders work). SCCText yet another utility that ships with VFP, provides a somewhat code version (works 2 way.ie: scx to txt and txt to scx).
Code version lacks one big advantage (unless you use tools to engineer into scx, vcx counterpart): Redesign.

I'm mad at times either:) However I do that just for short sample codes that I'd post where I can type faster than doing that in designer (or actually in my real world applications too when say I'd show a modal form with some few stuff in it and don't want to add another form to my project - just code and show on the fly from a method).
