I'm a fan of saving one form and one report as templates for those objects. filled with all the goodies and standard formatting you want.

But the questions arise again... I created a form called Normal with all my bells and whistles (i.e. header and footer with various objects on each) and discovered that I inherited virtually nothing from the header and footer. I have never created a Normal report, but given the above experience I'd guess that I'd inherit about the same (i.e. zilch). Given any one client's preferences, I'd like to capture these in a Normal report (i.e. report header in fontX, group1 Header and Footer in fontY, Group2 Header and Footer in fontZ, &c.). Is this possible? Alternatively, is it better to create a form __MyForm and a report __MyReport with all this set up, and then Save As, rather than expecting the built in Normal stuff to work? Experience and advice appreciated.
