You gotta try the code designer for screens

The more I play with the code designed for screens, the more I like it. I still get in this mind set that says "Gee, I only need to make a small change to this screen. It might be faster to edit the code or use SDA which I know like the back of my hand." But, I force myself to pull up code designed and I'm rarely disappointed. I recently had to make once screen become four. I quickly found the duplicate menu option. Wow! I had the four screen changes made in 1/2 hour and I had to rearrange all four screens and add fields. The ability to move fields around and create new text beats SDA hands down. No more quote marks, not more - and = to move stuff around. You gotta try it!

Jeff:

I've been using some form of that designer for almost 10 years. In fact, I learned DSU (As it was called then) before I learned SDA. It amazes me that more people don't use it. Simply amazes me.

Do you know of any reference material for CODE Designer? I'm learning by doing, and have to believe that I'm missing some of the features.
