I tried your suggestion but the "Lotfrm" still uses the setting from the below
line of code:
if __name__ == "__main__":
app.setAppInfo("appName", "Bonanza Accounting - Species Maintenance")
I'm opening 'Lotfrm' from the species form.
What I don't understand is if I comment out the above line the dialog will
use "Dabo Application" as the caption. It does not make sense - the above
line is in the 'if' statement. The app should not know about the 'appName' -
right?
So I changed it to
app.setAppInfo("appName", "Bonanza Accounting")
which works as a work around - for now.
