(Using v16) I'm experimenting with allowing users to create their own forms with editable forms. I have one or two questions ...
*1. Displaying/deleting objects such as fields* I need to allow the user to choose which fields to display on the form. The only way I can see to manage that is to place ALL fields from the table on the form, and set them as Invisible. Then have a list of fields that the user can choose from and make the selected field(s) visible. Then if they want to delete a field, we just make it invisible again. Is there a better way to manage this? *2. Stability* I'm currently working with v16r5 and I am finding these editable forms to be very unstable. Many crashes and strange behaviour. Is this usual or just because it's a beta version? *3. The .4DA file* This file containing the custom forms is saved into the .4DA file next to the structure. Is there any way to store it in a different location? Say, next to the .4dd? Staring it next to the .4dc file makes updating a bit of an issue. *4. Any other comments?* Any suggestions, or gotchas, you would like to share about this topic? Thanks!
