Hi all,
I have created two forms using the same table.The first form is 'LOGIN' form ,in that when we press Login button it should automatically display the login_id in the corresponding field(login_id field) of the next form.

Actually,the form is navigating to the next form ,but unable to pass parameters(login_id) to the second form.

Can anyone suggest the proper way for passing the parameters between forms.

Thanks in Advance

Nikethan K

Or, use parameters (created in Object Navigator; read more in Forms Online Help System).

That is probably a worse solution than a parameter, because global variables are character strings limited to 255 characters in length, so - you'd have to pay attention to correct datatype conversion. Parameters are, on the other hand, much more flexible. But that's all in the documentation.

hi,

Littlefoot is absolutely right.

You should use parameters in the object navigator. Just consider making the parameter name same in called and calling form.
