Based on what I have seen at users conferences and demos at my shop, if you don't already know Forms 3.0, don't bother, the design interface is a complete rework from 3.0 to 4.0. Also, I didn't see any mention of your platform. Unless you "got" to develope on Ver. 3.0 in bitmap, you probably would only see the character based mode of 3.0, in which case, again, no question -- stay away from 3.0.

Hope that helps.
