Confusing typo in previous post...pls ignore it and read this one. ----------------------- I just figured out that if you have $SCHEMA$ keyword on any menu's qualification, it behaves very differently in ARS 7 (vs ARS 5, and perhaps ARS 6.x as well).
In older versions, $SCHEMA$ always expanded at run time to be the name of the form where the menu is attached. In 7.x it gets two different values, depending on the context. For example if a menu gets its values from MenuSource form and is attached to forms Form1 and Form2 $SCHEMA$ in the menu's qualification always expanded to mean Form1 or Form2, depending on which form are you at. Not any more. In 7, when the menu is opened on any form , say Form1, $SCHEMA$ in the menu's qualification still expands to be "Form1" and you get the expected values in the menu. However, if you have $MENU$ specified as the pattern for the field (fields's Properties, Attributes tab) save operation will most likely fail because $MENU$ apparently expands to "MenuSource" when ARS is validating the value in the field. It broke my old workflow, so I need to redesign my menus to not have $SCHEMA$. Fun. I have ARS 7.0.1 p1, AIX 5.2, Oracle 9.x. I tested with windows client only. ____________________________________________________________________________________ 8:00? 8:25? 8:40? Find a flick in no time with the Yahoo!
