This looks like the foundation of my problem, I am falling back to procedual
programming. Forms are only objects with their properties set and all they
do is they form an user interface. The objects contained in a form are again
containers for programsections which react to user input. A selection of
forms in turn is controlled by a menu object (or any other object) which is
also a container for a programsegment. etc....

At least you guys have already some experience with dBase from the past, to
me VdB is basically new.
