New Property commands in Release Candidate...
PROPERTY TABLE <tablename> 'OPEN' and PROPERTY TABLE <tablename> 'CLOSE'
Where would these be Used
Mike,
I knew that it would catch anyone's attention who carefully reads the "What's New in Update 79".
These commands are implemented for a reason; either requested by the lovely user/developers or Razzak's wonderful clients who pay his bills <g>. So, there is always a method to our madness.
After some testing and checking, these *new* commands were implemented to close and open the dataset (the driving table of the form) to dynamically assign a new driving table to the same form without closing and re-opening the actual form. You'll have to see the actual application to appreciate this feature.
With the push of a button, now you can change the displayed data in a form based on a completely different table without a flicker of the screen!
Having said that, I'll prepare a cool demo for you to demonstrate the feature and typical use of these commands.

Please stay tuned ...
Very Best R:egards,
Razzak.
P.S. Did you find any other cooool items in RC79?
