Rodd,

I think the easiest way would basically be:

- Create a form class with the Class Designer, so you have your basic code and properties in there.
- At runtime do frmMyForm = CREATEOBJECT("MyFormClass")
- Then add controls with frmMyForm.AddObject("MyControlName", "Textbox")
- You can manipulate the controls with frmMyForm.MyControlName.Left = 10 and so on
- Make each added control visible with frmMyForm.MyControlName.Visible = .T.
- After everything is set up, make the form visible: frmMyForm.Show()

HTH,
Armin

>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.

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.
