sorry for double posting - but should add.

This default form (sans macro security setting requirements) would be nice but
it is only half a solution unless there is a way to open any form (or run a
report) from a setting of UI controls which which again doesn't require macro:

 - standard button action to open a form that takes at design time a form name
and that works with an embedded form.

 - a way to place a menu item/toolbutton on a form, in the customization
dialog, which opens a form or runs a report. One solution might be to create an
interface similar to how you add a macro call to a toolbar or menu now, but in
the available list of items have the current forms/reports embedded in the ODB. 

Anyway, that is my .02 worth of thought on this ;)
