The list software strips anything past a quoted footer. So if you
trim your replies to only include the meaningful stuff, you'll have no
problem.

There's nothing magical about stuff created from .cdxml files;
they're just normal objects.

There are two ways to reference an object. The first is by the dot-
separated containership names; e.g.,
self.Form.dPanel.dPageFrame1.dPage1.dTextBox3. This will work as long
as the names never change.
The preferred way is to use the RegID property. This must be unique
among *all* objects on the form, and if present, will register that
object with that ID with the form. Then you can reference it as
self.Form.<RegID> no matter where in the form it is located. See

for a deeper explanation.
