After doing my first project with 4th Dimension, I noticed that my
databases has more than 40 layouts!!!  Is that normal?

How do you control the consistency for all the layouts?  I find it
difficult to even copy and paste between similar layouts becuase every
field has unique scripts/lists/manditory options which should not be in
other layouts.  The entry order gets messed up, etc...so the gui is a
very nasty thing to deal with.

How do you people deal/reduce the amount problems with GUIs?  Just for
the sake of curiousity, what other problems should I watch out for when
modifying GUIs?
