I am into >screen planning at this point and need to figure out some strategies. The "Application Framework" that shipped with NE 2.0 has something like this in it, but it's not integrated into the development environment :-( You have to somehow develop each page of the note-book all on the same screen *at the same time*. Utterly unworkable (IMHO). I've no idea if this has been rectified in NewEra 3.0. Informix: why don't you release some substantive propaganda about the NewEra 3.0 development environment? RUMOURS PLEASE!
