			DESCRIPTION
			^^^^^^^^^^^
The Forms Toolbox (ver2.0) is a system designed to speed and ease
the design of user interface forms. The main function is a so-called
"Side Slice" of properties, whereby instead of the normal properties
sheet showing you all the properties for a single selected object,
the properties side slicer allows you to individually view/edit a 
single property for a multiple selection. For example highlight all 
the command buttons on a form and edit their StatusBarText property
without having to select/switch to properties sheet for each one.

Other functions are the ability to apply saved form and button styles
to your work.

			INSTALLATION
			^^^^^^^^^^^^
Unzip the archive and place add-in and help file in your add-ins
directory. For people that don't use an addins directory, place
the files in the Access directory. 
To make an addins directory, create a directory, and move in to it
all the .MDA files that are currently in your Access directory, 
except SYSTEM.MDA and UTILITY.MDA. Then edit the MSACC20.INI file
in your windows directory so that the [Libraries] section paths point
to the new location. Because WIZARD.MDA is now in that subdirectory
all addins that you add using the Add-in manager will be copied to
that subdirectory.
This saves a lot of clutter building up in the Access directory, and
makes things easier to find.

Use the Add-Ins manager to install the Forms Toolbox 2.0, or add a 
line to then MSACC20.INI [Menu Add-Ins] section, that reads;
&Forms Toolbox==frmpv_Entry ()

and to the [Libraries] section that reads;
C:\ACCESS2\ADDINS\formtbx2.mda=rw


			 OPERATION
			 ^^^^^^^^^
All the operation, and configuration is covered in the help file, one
point to note is that the help _is_ context sensitive, so you can use
Shift+F1 and then click on any part to get relevant help on that part.


		      OTHER INFORMATION
		      ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
If you are one of the 1250ish people who downloaded the previous version
then you will notice that the Schlosser/Patterson ToolTips inserter has
been removed, this is because Dave Schlosser released a Shareware version
of ToolTips (v4.0) with it's own insertion wizard.

The entire system is free and unsecured. If you are just starting out
using Access, you would probably be well served taking some time to
look over the code in the system and using it as a learning tool.

I don't mind if you derive a system from this one, or plagiarise it to
any extent, all I ask is that you include my name in the credits.

YOU ARE COMPLETELY PROHIBITED FROM CHARGING PEOPLE FOR THIS SYSTEM, 
SAVE THE NORMAL MEDIUM/DOWNLOAD/FTP FEE. IF YOU WISH TO INCLUDE THIS 
SYSTEM IN ANY "VALUE-ADDED" DISTRIBUTION, PLEASE INFORM ME FIRST.

All the usual disclaimers apply, suffice it to say that if you use it and
it causes a war, I don't want to be sued.

I do not speak for my employer, and all the references to Kingdom Software 
Consultants Ltd are purely a shameless plug, and in no way mean that KSC
take any responsibility for this system.

Any comments / questions / fan or hate mail to Angus M Wood at 100545,720 [CIS]
or 100545.720@compuserve.com [Internet] 
I would like to hear if you have any suggestions for improvement, or if you find
any bugs.
