>Do you guys subclass System.Form - where do you set it VS to use your Form Class?

Oh yes, of course! As Mike says, I beat up everyone who doesn't listen to this advice. <g>

We don't bother setting up VS to use our Form class (we actually have several different types of Form classes). We just start a new Form, and then change the System.Windows.Forms to our own Namespace. Works fine.
