Are you using "form" in the same sense as it's used in Dabo? We call a
full window (i.e., title bar, close box, minimize/maximize buttons, borders,
status bar) a "form". Sounds to me like you're using "form" more like a section
of related controls, and not just a separate window.
I'd suggest you watch the two screencasts on
http://dabodev.com/documentation entitled "Building a Database Application
using the Dabo Class Designer" - there is a 'Part 1' and a 'Part 2', as it's
fairly long.
