It provided one way for a form to be open multiple times, each with it's own local database and table state (buffered records, record pointers, etc.) With the right framework, it made it easy to do things like open up two complex 'documents' -- multiple tables with lots of related tables - and visual compare them side by side, editing as necessary. It was like having multiple copies of FoxPro open at once, except you still had global memory, the outer screen, the menu and the default data session to share between them. And, like any feature that introduces more complexity, it came with its own supply of sticky wickets. -- Ted Roche & Associates, LLC http://www.tedroche.com/ _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[email protected] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
