The Form Builder will create a Fast Form.

A Fast Form is just a term that refers to a Form built with the Form Builder.

The Form Builder does 3 or 4 things.

  1. It creates a Form and it's Objects.
  2. It creates any columns needed for Browse or Browse Edit type Forms.
  3. Adds a Button Object on the Testing Tab of the Developer's Home Page OR if it was a Subform, let's you know the Code of the Form that was created.
