Yes, you did, very well. Thanks for your insight as to how you use the tool and how it works best for you.
If Adam comes out with a new version that has some really cool new fangled thing in it and you would like to apply it to all of your forms, I guess you would just have to do the new form/copy process. Is there any where in Plum where you can get a list of everything that is locked?
