Hi Mars,

Attached is an example of a custom form we use for a waste-water management application. In this case we are combining it with python init scripts, since the form is also filled in from different databases.

I have been testing using the Edit Form via Identify Tool using "Open
feature form.." Mode.

I still wonder though if it is not possible to allow for Direct
Editing within the Identify Results window.

Not that anything is really broke, but I still feel it would give
the 
User a more consistent feel and flow and enhanced efficiency to their
workspace and editing.

For instance when a layers Attribute Table is open AND its related
layer is editable,
double clicking a value cues that value for editing.  
Problem with editing an Attribute Table is that it can span 3 Screens
while the efficiency 
of an Identify Results window can show everything compact in a nice
list.

I do want to say that I am still very much in favour of the "Edit
Form"
I can invision the Edit Form becoming a very advanced Attribute
Editing window.

If there was an "Attribute Editing Form" that was user adjustable, 
allowing specific Attributes to be viewable in a user specified order,
the "Attribute Editing Form" could become a very powerful and
efficient data entering tool.

I suppose the real question is whether it is better to combine the
Edit Form with the Identify Results window,
Or possibly adding another "Attribute Editor Tool" to the Editor Tool
bar that would allow selecting features
on the canvas to open an advanced Edit Form.

Just some thoughts .
