Tip of the Day #3: Form Preview From the Database Explorer
Supported Versions:

Did you know that you can preview any Form from the Database
Explorer?
Here's how:
A new setting has been introduced to preview your form canvas
from the Database Explorer, when you are not even using the
form designer.
Steps:
01. To activate this "Preview" option:
Database Explorer | Main Menu | Settings | Form Designer ...
Default Form Settings ...
Check the option for [ ] Save Form with Preview
Click on [OK] button to save user settings.
02. Now open any form in form designer, make any changes, save
the form and then close the Form Designer.
From now on, creating a new form or updating an existing
form will be saved with the preview capabilities.
03. When using the [Forms] section of the Database Explorer,
select that form you have just saved and then right-click
on it for all speed menu options.
Notice the additional item [Form Preview].
Selecting this option will display the Form Preview.
Enjoy!
Very Best R:egards,
Razzak.
