Yo Eric.

Actually, no...I avoid toolbars like the plague. I write data entry applications and I feel that *anything* forces the user to take their fingers off the keyboard is inefficient.

I prefer to put command buttons on the form with real live *words* ;) that have *visible* hot keys and some program logic behind them...and I like animated screens so my cmd's *come and go* depending on the mode of the program.

Re views...I really haven't had a problem with that...what's your (negative)experience?

And I've stuck everything from cbo's to chk's and even images with click events in my grids and haven't had a problem there either. On thing I haven't tried yet is putting a *form* in column...how about you? :) :) :)
