It seems that creating a "form" that looks as much like the official form is a good interface. I know there are issues with getting to parts of the "form" that are out of view. If you think that a scrollable "form" is a bad interface, how would you design the above example?
I understand what you're saying, users (worse yet, some upper management) wanted our vfp5 app to have duplicate entry screens for existing hard copy reports. We got around this so far by not being able to do it :) May have to keep scrolling forms in 6 a secret, lest we have more of these requests...
