At this time, I do not have RBASE set up running on an application. I know that is not the best procedure since everyone has access to everything on the database.
I am unfamiliar with MDI but understand from Larry's response it is built into any code within the forms or application. As you can tell, I am not as familiar with 7.6 as 6.5 (we still use 6.5 while I try to make 7.6 user friendly). If I understand your responses, I would either use MDI within the forms they will use or create buttons within forms that access other forms they may need to use. I use multiple forms myself quite often, including opening multiple copies of the same form, especially when editing the shop information. ________________________________ From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of jan johansen Sent: Friday, October 24, 2008 10:12 AM To: RBASE-L Mailing List Subject: [RBASE-L] - Re: running multiple forms Jim, You have to query your user's to find out 'multiple forms' are. One way to use this is to use the MDI option of forms. You can have many forms open but my users found that confusing. They have there place. What my users really wanted was to for example goto the customer information while you were elsewhere in the program. This was easily solved by giving them buttons whereever they wanted to do what they wanted.

I want our people to be able to open multiple forms at the same time. At present, RBASE only allows one form open at one time. Is there a setting I can change to allow an individual to open multiple forms? Jim
