I want to add a computed subform on my form.But the subform is located in another database!
What’s the code to use?

by the way, you clould also use a “single copy template”. Using this all the design elements are kept in the template and the DB keeps the data but refers to its template for the design elements.

Thanks,The information is stored the help\readme.nsf.
The designer tasks should take care of things, removing design but does not seems to work?
Bug?

Without details of how you are going about it and the problems it is difficult to guess whether this is a bug.
It may be easier to create a new DB with its single copy template set to the one that has the design you need. See if this works and if it does then replace the other one with this new one.

Sorry, it does work!The compact task does the trick…
This task makes all bytes disappear.

KrisFor scripts you can do a similar thing to what you are asking for by using a script library (& using #include) but i don’t think you can do this with design components such as subforms.
You can copy and paste the subform into your current databse. You will be prompted whether you want this component updated if the original is updated. If you say yes, then this achieves a ‘similar’ effect to referring to the orginal component programmatically since obviosuly any design changes to the original will be updated to this new copy of the subform.
I hope this helps
