Tom,

I, as you do, use single forms exclusively. I use various
methods for making toolbars available to forms including
timers that check to see what forms are active, and activating
the appropriate toolbars, etc. This allows my toolbars to
be independant objects that can apply to many forms at once.

I may be "thick", but, for me, the concept of formsets seems
contrary to the underlying theme of OOP. Once formsets are
created, it seems to me that the independance of the component
forms is lost.

It may be that the apps that I develop simply don't lend
themselves to formsets, and as such, I've never needed them,
and have never seen the beauty in them. Anyway, that is my take
on formsets. I don't see myself using them any time in the
near future, but, "ever say never" right?
