    How Many Forms???

    A simple question to all...

    How many forms are TOO many when designing an application through VB6??

    I am just curious...

    I am working on a HUGE project that may entail more than several forms...I am looking into other alternatives.

    Thank you!

    Now, I'm writing a complex application with 237 form and VB6 is all OK. Only few seconds to load the project, 1-2 minute to compile it.

    Ciao

    Use however many you need to do the project, but bear in mind that most projects have forms that are very similar to each other - and it is possible that you could move several into one (which you just pass parameters to).


    I work for a major tobacco company and recently re-wrote the entire design & specification system (writes/reads about 80 database tables, and creates about 50 unique reports).

    The whole thing uses about 40-50 unique forms, about 15 of which are generic, and are used in several places.
