I suppose everybody but me knew about this but just in case there's someone else out there who's puzzled how to get an MDI form to work:
By mistake, I re-read the R:Syntax for ENTER USING and discovered that dropping the USING part of the command allows a MDI form to be shown. I didn't know that. I had meant to check the EDIT USING syntax but when I corrected myself I saw this: "In R:BASE for Windows "EDIT MDI formname AS alias" (my quotes) can be used to start a form window that can later be accessed with a SETFOCUS command. For more information, see the "SETFOCUS" entry." So I rushed to look at SETFOCUS but there's nothing to help (with edit using) there... I started playing with the syntax and ended up with this: EDIT MDI ChristmasTracks AS ChristmasRecs + ORDER BY DiscIDNum, TrackNumber + AT 100, 100, 900, 490 + CAPTION 'Christmas Records & Tracks' NOHEADER Which is quite different from the graphic syntax but you'll have guessed by now that this works. Anybody like to confirm for me that this is the correct sequence of options? Please Razzak/RBTI, when R:Syntax next gets updated put an example of this syntax option in!
