Well, to create a form to run on the server, you would need to run the designer on the server. Or get the .frm files from the PC to the server, and generate them there. Then you should be able to use the runform on the HP (not the PC) and see them in X. Hope this helps. Received on Fri Aug 05 1994 - 21:28:24 CEST
