Forms & Form designer
I believe Jim Duffy gives a presentation of creating wizard forms using the VFP wizard framework. Check with him, he might be able to help you.
>Our application has several forms that use the 'wizard' approach to holding the user's hand and walking them through a data entry process (eg, Next, Previous, Cancel, and Finish buttons below a tabless pageframe). We have built one of them using standard form, button, and pageframe classes. Now we'd like to build a composite class - or some integrated classes - that would make the task of creating a wizard form simpler.

>We have three goals:
>1) Simplify navigation between pages (we might want to skip page 3 based on the data entered on page 2)
>2) Simplify validation (for instance, required fields now have to be enforced at the page level, not the form level)
>3) Make it relatively painless to create a form in the Form Designer (ie, don't do a lot of ADDOBJECTs at run-time)
>
>Has anyone created classes like these? We'd be interested in at least hearing your experiences, if not 'acquiring' your code.

>Thanks in advance!
