>Is there a rule of thumb when deciding whether to use a .scx or .vcx for our forms in CodeMine ? Are there major implications or something ?

Used to be that as VCX based forms do not have a DE, people used SCX when a DE was required (with Foxpro, most of the time). So, many VCX based forms were used as dialogs. With Codemine, that is not an issue because you can use a VCX and a CDE together, no problem. Also, people store form class definitions as VCX and instance them as SCX. With forms you can say DO FORM - quick and easy. With VCX, you have to create an object and then show it and so on.

Given the options, I suppose it boils down to preference, plain and simple. However, I use SCX most of the time and where I used to use VCX for dialogs, I generally use SCX. Its up to you.
