webfocus won't build a W2 for you out of the box. You have to develop it. Do you have a specific issue that you are trying to overcome with it? Or is this more of a general question?

Once you begin a report in the Painter you can convert it to a precision report. This is a way to create forms but you will need to learn to use the tool to do it.

Once you go into Precision report painter, save very very often. It's a great tool but you risk losing a lot of work if you do not save often. After my initial save, I would add more, run and IF it ran okay, then save. If it did not run okay, you have just lost everything from your last save. Which is why you save OFTEN.
