Building a Backpack interface with XForms

Backpack logoWe're getting ready for a new version of Sidewinder and in the process we're building a few desktop applications to show what you can do with the new features. One of these applications makes use of Backpack to store tasks and reminders, and during the course of developing it, Phil decided to set up a simple XForm that can access every feature of Backpack. It's such a handy little form that we thought we'd share it with you--if you're planning to build an XForms application that uses Backpack you'll definitely want to take a look, but the form has more general use too in that it shows how to use the formsPlayer extensions to control all aspects of data submission.
