I guess I have not explained
The menu I use now has icons to do different thing Button1 compiled exe that connect database and runs code Button2 compiled exe that connects database and runs different code Currently I compile each seperate file and use launch, what I like about this is I might have 2-8 seperate instances of one button, which then means from a launched file I can reduce to taskbar. Using the custom_form_action also only allows one instance. I just am confused with getproperty but thought I could pass parameters, which maybe I can but just don't know how.

The database is the same for everyone and there is a common sign in screen, but there are 6 different menus that get assigned based on a user’s job. Admin menu allows everything and is the only menu that assigns access levels to users. A manager may only see customer and sales choices and a part of employees. HR will see all of employee, but nothing else. It all gets assigned at startup. The computers themselves have assigned access so only certain menus will come up for privacy and confidentiality reasons. Works well.

This is a very simplistic example of what I want to do in an externalform Button1(employee info) currently use a compiled Employee.exe which starts program and run eep to go to employee info Button2(customer info) compiled Customer.exe and uses completely different eep Button3(sales info) compiled Sales.exe, etc and more buttons and so on This is what I currently use and have to re-compile each one on every update. What I would like to do is have the one exe that sets all my configure info, then run the eep, outside of the exe file I am lost on this subject. Tom Hart
