I'm wanting to create an automated program that generates forms based on information stored in tables. My dilema is this, in my code, I could issue the create form command and programatically add elements to the form, but this opens a form designer window which I don't know how to programatically close down. I don't want a user to have to sit there and close the form designer after each form is created.

I could issue a "copy structure" command and then insert records into the .scx table. However, when you create a form, there are 4 records that are automatically added and I'm not sure of the meaning in some of the fields. For instance there is a record who's uniqueid is screen and one who's uniqueid is RESERVED. In the last record (the one with the uniqueid of reserved), the only data it has is in the field named Properties. This field contains (Arial, 0, 9, 5, 15, 12, 32, 3, 0). I don't know what those elements stand for or when or why I would put them there if I created this record.

Also, if I were to create the form building it record by record, is the time stamp the elapsed seconds? Is there anything special in regards to the uniqueId field?

Thanks for whatever help you can offer.
