Jason Ouellette of Gentle Giant Moving And Storage   (617) 661-3333

Most developers spend their time refining functions and procedures to make them re-usable for other applications.  Why not do the same with forms?  John and Jason will look at ways of designing generic versions of forms for such uses as subforms, popups, and wizards.
