Hello,

I have 2 blocks with Master-details relationship.
The first Block in a canvas with a "View details" butoon.

Whn-Button-pressed, the New convas with the Second BLOCK (DETAILS) should Open, showiing the details of the Current Record.

IT IS SIMPLY NOT WORKING!!
Can som1 help!
Thx

If it was master-detail relationship, it would work.

Therefore, you probably did *something* that prevents Forms to do its job. I'd recreate the relationship; use wizard to do that.

I've also seen your original question (which regards another form, instead of a detail block). Current record (i.e. the one in which resides cursor) contains certain items. They can be referenced by "colon" + "block name" + "item name" and passed to another form as a parameter or a global variable. Something like this:

:parameter.some_id := :block_name.id_item;
-- or
:global.some_id := :block_name.id_item;

In the second form you'd have to put this value into the appropriate item in the PRE-QUERY trigger and then execute query.

What code do you have in your button? I strongly recommend that you use a 'go_item' to move to another canvas instead of trying to use a 'show_view' because if the current 'focus' would be covered/hidden/obliterated by the new canvas then the canvas will NOT be shown.

What do you mean by its not working... are you getting any error or absolutely nothing happens at button press??

Can you just post the exact error you are getting??
