Hello Wildo, Thierry,
I'm not sure I'm understanding what you mean by adjusting the grid size and spacing - do you mean the amount that objects move when you drag them across the form using the mouse? If so, then you can 'fine tune' it using the LEFT and TOP object properties which moves the object by pixel.
I agree with the comment about copying a form which can't be done within MVD. However, you can always copy and paste en masse all of the objects from one form onto a new 'blank' form using ALT+SHIFT+click which is pretty quick and easy.
Alternatively, if you want an EXACT copy of a form, I just edit the forms.xml file.
1. Open forms.xml using something like Notepad.
2. Find the block of text where the form you want to copy starts and ends, copy and paste it and then just change the form name.
3. Save the forms.xml file, go back into MVD and there your copied form is.
It takes about 30 seconds. It doesn't really matter where you actually place it in forms.xml because you can always move it when you go back into MVD by dragging on the form tab.
For new projects, I use a projects template (which has all my standard tables, scripts and forms such as 'sign-on' forms, authorised user forms, help forms - all the stuff I use in every project). And any forms specific to the new project that I need, I will then copy by editing forms.xml as outlined above. It's amazing how RAD you can make MVD (great if you're lazy like me!!).
Maybe this can save you some time.
Derek.
