Hi Lynda,
I hear you. It's hard to work with code written in totally diferent style, even worse if there's no style at all.

It's actually pretty typical of apps developed prior to visual tools (and/or when developers were unsure of how to use visual tools.) My original goal was to move the code into the proper methods, set up data environments for the forms, and bind data to the controls. After spending a day and a half attempting to do just that, I'm not really sure it's worth it. It would be Oh So Easy to break something because I don't understand all of the ramifications of the changes.
