>I agree with you George. Pushing the idea a little bit further, a single record could be a document. Instead of having one form with a navigation toolbar, we could pop up different forms, with their own entry in the taskbar, for each record that the user want to view. It could be easier to the user to compare two or more records side-by-side that way. This behaviour should be configurable by the user, BTW.

Very good, and we could take the idea even further based on user permissions for fields. Then the record/document could inform the host form of what it could display. And what about ADO, MTS, and so on< g >?
