You mean normal PalmOS forms? I don't think this is a very meaningful
question, as there is no logic for the desktop to "unpack" a form
resource, and I don't think form resources were actually meant to carry
the dynamic contents of the visible form -- you can't "freeze" and "thaw"
forms on the device, after all. It seems like it would be simpler all
around to just iterate over the pieces of data you are interested, and
store them in a resource in a custom format you are happy with. If the
user can design the form (somewhere...) you should have the data you need
already available.
Now, if you were asking about Satellite Forms or something else, I doubt
I've helped much. (Though I doubt I've helped much in any case. ;-)
