Karen,

Why not make a sample form.
Fill it with all the controls you use, set up you favorite ways, but with blank 
componentids and no code or variables or lookups.
Basically make them C&P idiot proof!
You can continue to optimize, add to and enhance these as you wish.

You can C&P these without getting into trouble.
If you need multiple forms with controls set up for different scenarios that is 
obviously a possibility.

You can even carry them unloaded to a usb stick for use at customer sites!

Subject: [RBASE-L] - Ahh... the perils of C&P

Since the list is slow today, how about someone showing me
a little sympathy?  Do you want to guess how much time I spent
this morning figuring out why one simple change to my form made
something not work right?

And it comes down to this -- I copied and pasted another control
and totally forgot to erase the componentid and the custom eep
code that was in the pasted control....   If I had a dime for everytime
I got into trouble from copy and paste....

TGIF!!

Karen
