Thomas,

[Forms are quite heavyweight classes: in vfp6 you could grind a system down by instantiating too many form classes. Vfp8 made the situation better, but I'd still measure the impact in vfp9 on typical to lower end target machines first and try out a max test if thinking about TS or citrix deployment FIRST.

20 form classes should be ok if one such "master form" (to avoid the term "form set") is used by the process, but if you need a few of such "master forms" per process might tax resources too much.]

Yes, forms are heavyweight, but I don't anticipate that being an issue because of the way the system is going to be deployed. You never know thought, so we will be doing some stress testing to make sure.

The system will allow multiple "master forms" as you stated, but we may limit that to a maximum if for no other reason, but for sanity sake!

Thank you very much for that insight!

Scott
