Hi,

The basic and most important difference is that

1. <b>smart forms are clinent independent where as scripts are client dependent.</b> This means that if you create a script in client 100 and want to test it in client 200, it is not possible because the script will not be present in 200 client. You have to manually copy this script to the other client through copy menu or through a standard program(RSTXFCPY)

2. Smart forms have the facility for multiple page formats where as in script not

3. labeling is not possible in smart form where as it is possible in script.

4. smart form can easily web publishing using the genarated XML output compare

with script.

5. we can maintain background graphics in smartform wher as in script not

possible.

6. smart form is easier to format and maintain
