Re: ACS_ & forms

[Mike Aubury]

Its not just for drawing around a field - 
for example my form may look like this :

p------q
|      |
|      |
b------d
[a]


(where p is a upper left corner etc)

I normally create the fields first, then create the window and associate the 
list of fields to it...
