<< We have the latest version of 7.6. 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? >>
If you include the MDI keyword in the EDIT USING command, you will be able to bring up other forms "on top" of that form. If you include the MDI keyword on the _additional_ EDIT USING commands, you will be able to switch among the forms. Three things to be aware of: 1. All variables in R:Base are global so you have to be very, very, very careful about the interaction of form level variables, and any EEP code within your forms. 2. It's difficult to bring up two copies of the _same_ form (that is, two separate customers, for instance). 3. You need to carefully code your PROPERTY commands to refer the correct form as well as the correct control, since it may be the user and not you who "decides" which form has focus when particular code runs. -- Larry
