I will admit that my opinions are slanted to the fact that we are vert app developers and don't write code for other people to modify. I would still maintain, however, that well organized classes with a solid naming convention for the objects (including forms) therein is all that is needed. I am also a believer that the scores of scx/sct files you get with the "Do Form" approach is a bigger management issue than naming problems.

However, having developed 8 applications for several clients, I now prefer SCXes because I am usually not the one who maintains my applications. My experience tells me that using SCXes cuts down my training cost by about 25% and other developer's maintenance cost by 50%. Ken, you made the point that YOU know where YOUR form classes are stored, but that's my point, THEY didn't know where I put MY form classes but they sure recognized the fact that frmTaxRepresentativeNarrative.scx has something to do with the Tax Representative Narrative...
