I've had to do this less and less, as I've gotten better at planning <g>, so I never made it a utility, but it is fairly straightforward to do by manipulating the form as a table. However, it's easiest to make classes of the forms you want to add to the formset, open your formset and add them as class objects. This is okay if you don't mind losing your DEs (or can capture them as code).

>Didn't some clever person devise a method to stuff several forms (individual SCX's) into a single formset SCX? I have some situations where I would prefer to use this utililty rather than saving my forms as classes and dumping them into a formset. In general, I've found this method to be cumbersome because most of these forms are of the "use once" variety, and I consequently find myself needing to frequently modify the base class. This is a nuisance because you cannot edit the base form and the formset at the same time (i.e., Cannot modify a class that is in use). So I would prefer to use a forms-to-formset builder utility thingy. How about it?
>Thanks!
