I have a couple of very minor requests: the grid spacing in the forms editor is different than the last version. You can't make the vertical spacing any smaller than it defaults to. I'd like the vertical spacing to be able to go to half the character size. Plus, the snap-to-grid works subtly differently. Before, outlined text boxes and non-outlined text boxes were snapped so that they were centered vertically. That is, if you put one of each side by side, they looked okay. Now the top of outline boxes is lined up with the top of non-outlined text characters. Looks wierd. Another minor request: do a ? for a record, but only type in part of the record. For example, for a name like Patricelli, I'd just type in patr so I wouldn't have to think. But the info requester which pops up stays up far too long now. It used to disappear before you could read it. Now you have to wait for a few seconds before you can edit the file, or arrow over to the actual record. It would be nice if the delay could be cut by 2/3rds, or that the next keystroke would make it disappear (of course you'd want the keystroke action to be recorded too.) Michael
