I have all of the above working now - but, with generated forms there is a "feel" of going deeper and deeper into the app. If, rather than DEFAULT, I specify a common menu for all forms, if I click on a menu option for a form, say 3 times, then I have to EXIT 3 times, to back-out.

Is there any setting to have the menus bring-up a form, closing the current one first, so I don't get so "deep" in the application? Received on Sat Nov 29 1997 - 00:00:00 CET
