If the form that has pre-set values, for instance in edit mode, we use reset to put back the old values that got wiped out on typing over, but leaves you on the page. Cancel bails you from the edit screen back to the list of things to edit. We also use Cancel in modal windows (again in edit mode) to close the window and cancel any changes made. If it's a form that doesn't have any pre-populated values, I don't think reset has value, but that's just personal opinion. -- Susan R.
