You know, as I am leafing through old emails, I see this one. And I think it is a GREAT idea. However, as is my way of programming satellites....why not take it one step further. If you right click on a button, it can limit your development options i.e. active links but not filters...and can then autoload the button as the trigger point?
Seems to me that when you add workflow you usually tied it to some action as well. And with active links I am usually looking at the form and button or field that I am working with.
Just my late 2 cents.

When you select an option (ie. a Filter) and new filter is created "with the form already selected".Because the current process of selecting the form takes extra time, when I want to create a new object 99% of the time I open an existing object, uncheck the Enable box and select File - Save As to clone it. I then delete the workflow to begin a new filter. This is actually quicker and easier for me than creating a new filter from scratch and manually selecting the form. When cloning, the name of the filter is also already prefixed accordingly.Currently, to select a form for a new object involves:- scroll and find the form in 300+ forms (in my environment)- check the box for the form. This causes the form you just selected to instantly vanish.- scroll back up to the top of the list of forms to see if you checked the correct form.As a Part B to this enhancement, add ability to set default prefixes for objects. Each time a new object, such as a form, is created with the new method the name of the object would already have your standard prefix for that object. This would both save time and help ensure naming consistency.Stephen__20060125_______________________This posting was submitted with HTML in it___
