I have run into a problem with a variable form . The form
has a variable lookup listview , and four or five buttons
used to navigate and/or manipulate the data listed. I have
used this process many times over and have had no problem
calling up the form using 'edit using <formname>'. The
problem that I discovered was that when the application
is compiled , the only way to bring up the form is to use
'enter using' . If 'edit using ' is used ,the compiled
application locks up.
It is not a problem to use the 'enter using' instead but
does anyone know why it would occur only in the compiled
application ?
Mike,
The beauty and power of a Variable Form is to perform most
critical tasks of collecting/manipulating data using all
Variable Controls without being associated or dependent on
any table and DB Controls, allowing you to use "EDIT USING
variableformname" without looking at or validating existing
row(s) in a DB Controlled table/view.
However, when using Variable Lookup controls, such as
Variable Lookup ListView, you MUST re-visit the List Source
Table/View, Key Field, and most importantly the WHERE Clause.
If you have copied and pasted the control into an existing
form, or have turned an existing table/view-based form into
a Variable Form, you MUST look into the actual source of the
problem.
If all else fails, create a brand new quick Variable Form
with all required variable controls and see what you get.
Take a look at the RRBYW15 or RRBYW16 sample applications
that include a few Variable Lookup ListView samples. Then,
compile this application, run it accordingly, and see what
you get. This very simple exercise should help you narrow
down any issues with your variable form.
Hope that provides you with some blue's clues ...
Very Best R:egards,
Razzak.
