I've never used formsets based on similar people's opinion, but I've
also never actually seen someone explain why they are so much trouble
to use? Can you or someone spell out what it is exactly that makes
working with them not recommended?

Kevin,
Stay away from formsets. They are just not worth the aggravation you will
have with them. Stick to a collection of forms and call one form (which will
inherit the datasession of the calling form) from the master form. If you
pass an object as a parameter containing a reference to the Parent form then
you can call all the Parent form events from the main form.
There is absolutely nothing you can do with formsets that isn't possible,
but much easier, by using separate forms. Been there got the teeshirt many
many years ago.

Subject: Toolbar Menus
I am looking for some input on using a toolbar as a menu within a
formset. When I say menu here, it is not a conventional drop down menu
but more of a button based menu system.
The menu needs to be universally accessible in the application,
including when modal forms are shown in the formset. I believe that
using a toolbar will accomplish being able to access it when modal forms
are displayed.
I have mocked up a toolbar but I would like to hide the dragable image
line displayed on the left of the toolbar when it is docked, as I do not
wish to make the toolbar movable and I would like it to blend in better
with the forms below - i.e. be right aligned with the forms.
Any input is appreciated.
Thanks,
Kevin
