Yes, this would be overusing it. Save the factory for classes/forms that are likely to be different among clients/projects.


>Couple of side questions:
>1) Why is DoForm not a method of some class? That surprised me. No special reason just a feeling that it should have been more OOP ( Maybe I’ve OD on OOP <s> ) (Maybe a command pattern should be used? ) Has anyone run into a problem that they said to themselves if only DoForm was a Method ( or object ) ?

Never ran into a problem requiring it, and as to why it's not an object method, my question would be "Which object?" You could hang it off goApp, but I like being able to treat DoForm as a command, more or less.
