Sometimes it is easier not to remove stuff (because of object references or dependancies) but just to hide elements you don't want, more of a visual update, and then add a little functionality around the side.

I would look for a base class form to start building from, or the simplest form in the old project that hase the base features you need and start from there.

I wanted to pick up a form, remove unnecessary pieces, make some changes and have my form worked also. But I guess I just picked not the best one, since that form had a pageframe and at least 3 different tables and 3 "biz objects" and my case is much simpler...
