I think the point is being missed here. We don't want "special" forms
which work with JFW. We want access to current applications used by
others.
It's great that future Forms exists although I haven't had occasion to
use them and probably won't for the very reason I mentioned.
We need good access to Microsoft Word forms and we needed it a hell of
a long time ago.
It's probably best to produce things like this in Microsoft Access if
you must use Office. But many times this doesn't happen. It doesn't
seem like it would be that difficult to do the necessary scripting to
solve the problems. But then there are many things about Microsoft
Word which are still largely inaccessible with JFW.
It gets a little better with each release of JFW but it's not good
enough.
