I didn't say I didn't do it visually - I just said I don't use the Form Designer... ;)

I use the Class Designer for all my work, storing my form classes in class libraries. The only thing I lose is easy drag-and-drop from the Data Environment to the form, but I write my DataEnvironments in .prg files and have code in the Load() event of my master Form base class to load and open my tables. I've found that a much more flexible and faster way to work. Additionally, I often do not use controls on a form that are directly linked to fields in a table, so I don't lose much as drag-and-drop goes, anyway.
