I have left the Forms' 'Save as Class' option open. Thats one
reason why I use forms since I can always save it as a class.

I look at Fox & VFP as Visual design platforms. I believe
that was their intention. So I use the visual & visual tools
as much as possible. I cannot see going to hard coding
because of my experiences in 2.x.

I still have no firm ideas on Formsets but I did like Allen's
comments about creating Fromsets for each data environment.
It makes sense to keep the DE in mind when creating forms.

I will most likely do stand alone forms until a need arises
to do otherwise. I have not seen any really good reasons to
use formsets by default yet.

Thanks
Tom
