Re: Power Objects Question

Mike -

A form is also a type of container. There are two ways that leap to mind to create a container, with all the properties of a form, such as RecordSource, in another form.

You can add a repeater display to a form. The repeater display can have its own RecordSource, session, etc., and can be linked to a master form with the Link... properties. A repeater display is designed to handle multiple rows in a master/detail relationship, but you could size it so that it only displays a single row. You can add all standard Power Objects objects to a repeater display.

Whenever you create a class, the class can act as a container for other objects and has all the properties and methods of a form. You can create an instance of a class in a form by dragging and dropping the class to your form.

What are you trying to accomplish with your embedded form? There are many implications involved with embedding forms, and there may be a better means to your particular end.
