The form for ORDER_LINE should look like Figure 7-8. This method of
creating new forms from an existing form may appear complicated on pa-

but it is far more efficient than designing the new form from scratch.
Because the headings for the fields are on one form and the fields

forms correctly, especially when the fields are delimited by invisible
delimiters. By creating one correctly aligned form and then copying it
twice, you insure that the headings and the fields line up.
