Gary,
The first thing to realize is that FORM has no meaning. There is a problem with CodeBook 6.x's error handling. I haven't been able to trace it down, but often FORM is substituted for some other name that should be in the error message. I expect it has something to do with the way errors are passed up the hierarchy.
It was not a problem in Doug Hennig's original error handler, which I adopted not quite fully to CodeBook 3. I still support a couple apps in CodeBook 3 in which Doug's error handling works fine.
So ignore FORM whenever it appears in an error message and try to guess which variable, property or object that is really the problem.

<i><font color="#663300">I am installing CodeBook 6.2 and trying to follow the steps in CodeBook Step-By-Step. When I come to the part where I run 'Do Main'for the first time I get the message:
Error # 12
Message: Variable 'FORM' is not found
Line #: 232
Code : DEFINE BAR_mwi_cascade OF_mwindow
PROMPT "Ca<scade"
Message "Arranges windows as cscading tiles"
Object: gitter
Can anyone tell me what is happening here and how I can fix it?
Thanks,
