Another part of story is Pageframe vs Multiple form GUI issue, and here there is no definite answer, it depends on client's request. But if you select multiple form UI it does not mean that you must use formset here; you can have really multiple separate form objects.

>>>Although Edward's comments are right on the mark, I would just like to add this. IMHO, most users are already familiar with using the TAB (e.g. VFP pageframe) metaphor but not multiple forms at the same time. Not to be a "Conformist" but I think it's important for users.

>I would agree in theory if ALL my users were running at at least 800x600. Screen real estate becomes prime when you have to write apps at 640x480 and in my experience, formsets are almost impossible to implement properly at this resolution but pageframes do just nicely.

I don't mean formset, I speak about multiple separate forms. Also, the good way to handle resolution problem is to reset it to 800x600 on boss computer, other users will stop complaining pretty soon :). On serious note, you may make forms flexibly resized and users will be naturally prompted to better resolution.
