Also Karen, you can put your connect into your .dat file to get things started with the form. You would just have to disconnect/connect each time you switch databases.

Karen, I seem to remember something like this at the conference. I think that Razzak showed us that it was as simple as 1. Open your existing menu form. 2. <Ctrl A> to select all objects 3. <Ctrl C> to copy all objects 4. Open your blank rff 5. <Ctrl Z> to paste all objects into new form. Since the form is external you will need to make sure you have connects in all your menu options. I haven't tried this yet but it is on my list of things to do.

That's why I'm thinking that perhaps I could request this as an enhancement from RBTI if others would make use of it. I don't want to tie up their development time on something that only I might find useful, not knowing if this would be a big job for them or a small job. Karen Karen, Very interesting question. Since an external form definition is contained in an external .rff file, one would need to be able to unload a regular form to an .rff file (instead of an .frm and a .lob), and then you could edit it.
