Any ideas?
Subject: Does anyone know how to auto launch a form in a frameset located in a different database on same server?
Hello Al,
In the designer, create a frameset and select the frame where you want to auto-launch the Form.
Right click on the selected frame and go to ‘Frame Properties’.
In the first tab of the ‘Frame Properties’ you will find ‘Content’.
Select ‘Type’ as ‘Named Element’. A new drop down will appear beside it with design elements. Select ‘Form’.
Beside ‘Value’ field you will find a ‘@’ shaped button. Click on it. A pop-up will appear.
The ‘Formula for kind of element’ attribute will read ‘Form’ (i.e. if you selected it earlier as mentioned above). You may change this attribute here also.
For the ‘Formula for database’ attribute enter the ‘Database_Name’.
For the ‘Formula for name of named element’ attribute enter the ‘Form_Name’.
Click on ‘Done’ and you will see the form inserted in the frame. If it throws any errors check for the details you entered.
Regards,
Adi

I believe the question dealt with the autolaunch properties of the Form (it’s on the launch tab of the Form Properties box), not how to set the default content of a Frame in a Frameset. Unfortunately, choosing a Frameset outside of the Form’s container database is not possible.

Oops… Sorry, I apologize…
