Hello,
what is the basic workaround to provide to switch from one form to another form via custom-menu at runtime?
I attached a menu-item to every of my forms and I can call them seperately from the forms builder. But I am not able to switch between the forms then. If I am clicking on a menu-item, I get frm-40010.
Thanks in advance
Stefan
P.S. I'd prefer to close the current form, if the new form has been opened. Do I have to control this seperately or is the closing of the last form default?

Littlefoot wrote on Wed, 25 May 2011 06:31How do you call those forms? Did you read about NEW_FORM, OPEN_FORM, CALL_FORM built-ins and learnt differences between them?
I did and as I understood it, the only difference is the different handling of the parent form. My coding of every menu-item is just OPEN_FORM('<FORM_NAME>');. So I think that should work. But I cancelled custom-menue for deadline-reasons.

That's right. But the mock application of my exam is an online shop. So I don't want to grant customers to manipulate master data, for instance.
But I still wondering about the operational area of applications developed with forms. Maybe it's more about internal use than webshops or something like that.
