Dear JJ,
I just started working with Xpress, but I can already tell you, that FORMS DESIGNER is a simple tiny program, not only by size - the exe-file is 1.6mb - , but also by possibilities (experienced users might want to correct me).
Basically you can say, what you see is what you get; there are no (?) hidden functions. Therefore, there is no need for a book!?
I suggest learning by doing AND by asking in this forum (as I do ;-).
Just open one of the existing templates/form files and start fiddling around. IMO important to have the properties window always open (just press F4).
Also important: In the PROPERTIES window the function FONT MODE SETTING; only when you change that one from MAIN to INDIVIDUAL (by clicking it) can you work with font styles and sizes.
Good luck!
