Hello Ariel,
Note that I answer your mail in [email protected] (which I don't
need to introduce to you :), which is the better place for reasons of
scaling.

This is knwon as issue 73074, and fixed in CWS dba23a, which will
hopefully be part of 680m212. With this fix integrated, you will by no
means be allowed to create a form (or report, for that matter) which
contains a slash in its name.
I agree that Joe average will have a problem fixing this himself, but
unfortunately there is no other repair possibility except the API way
you suggested.
Ciao
Frank
