"registration solution"
Not sure what you are looking for with that term, but here is a try.
The tutorial is probably one of VA's best. The NEW PERSON file is a good
demo (you don't have to leave SCREENMAN menu, just do "Run a Form") and look
at the screens there. Then run XQEDTOPT and look at the TYPE field to see
the power of designing almost any kind of option already built into that
screen. A large part of my development work (after files and fields - and
MODIFY FILE already allows screen management) is done via XQEDTOPT. If I
were better at M, I might have a different opinion. However, I programmed in
Basic (prior to VB and mostly 10PM to 2AM) for over 10 years (70's & 80s)
and, as a consequence, dodge REAL programming whenever I can.
Since I just downloaded the newest VistA, I haven't built any ScreenMan
options yet. I will be glad to share whatever I develop if some of the
guru's will coach us on export and import of ScreenMan forms.
Thanks,
thurman
