Re: Forms: why does it suddenly start showing the wrong canvas at startup?

Hi!

[Quoted] In my experience, the following have caused similar symptoms; use the record=collect runtime parameter to trace the form if the list doesn't suggest a solution. ( using Forms 6.0.5 )

Good luck,
Mike Rainville

-navigating to a field on the form accidentally with Go_Item

-having an incorrect canvas specified for a window object

-another form using the same window name e.g. STD_WINDOW, or a duplicate form running with an old bug - sometime two or three similar forms running
( Windows task list will show you these after Ctrl-Alt-Delete - once - carefully ;)

-default block, default item (first item in the block) on the canvas that appears
because it wasn't set in the application properties

-next block, previous block navigation not set or set incorrectly

use the record=collect runtime parameter to trace the form
