[RBASE-L] - RE: v9.x: Custom Form Actions vs EEPs

[Doug Hamilton]

Jim, you may have mistyped, but it's a VARCHAR in a table, not a form. My table, InternalCode, has the following cols: CmdName  Text  16 CmdDescription  Note  --For my own description, variables needed, variables returned, etc CmdModified  DATETIME  --Date of most recent update CmdCode  VARCHAR  --Executable code.  I'll develop and test in RBEdit, then Cut&Paste into this col.

Often I will have a CFA that is called by other CFAs which may have in turn been invoked by another CFA. I will add one advantage - all the bits of code are there in one place for you to see. You don't have to go searching through all of the various actions on all of the controls on the form to find something.
