I personally have found it _much_ faster to develop apps when I package form-centric code into a PRG (one PRG for each different SCX file) rather than having to continually/repeatedly manipulate code in the form's events/methods. You can leave the PRG open for editing, tweak it, and not even have to close the form (much less modify it) in order to test your code changes.

Exactly - and a prg based one...

in form's .load()

this.newobject('oBiz','thisformsBiz','thisformsbiz.prg')

and later

thisform.obiz.CmdApply(params)
