David,

About 95% of my forms are SCX, the others are .VCX. I just prefer DO FORM even if it doesn't look as pure OOP as CreateObject(). It's easy enough to use Tools/Options to set the form template for the few times I actually create a new form. You can use the class browser to redefine if you forget. VFP6 finally allows us to specify class/classlib in the CREATE FORM command.

>Here's a curve on this - I've been writing all my forms as class definitions in .vcx files lately. It seems to me that this allows for moreflexibility in choosing their parent class and their functionality. The only thing I lose are the built-in DataEnvironment (which I write in code) and the TO clause, which I use an exit property for. Am I missing anything?
