hi there,
As part of my uni coursework I'm creating a set of linked forms
Im not sure on how to link them together.
I think the way i want this to work is so that by clicking on buttons within the form they would make new forms appear.

Sorry if thsi is a bit trivial, I'm very muc ha noob to this,
thanks in advance,
Paul

Hi!
you should use trigger WHEN-BUTTON-PRESSED , which will call another form. For example, put in the body of the trigger: call_form, open_form.
Also try to look here: http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/forms/techlisting9i.html

thanks for that, the gist of the situation is that i have numerous canvases, each holding different bits of information, but they're all within the same file.
I want to be able to move between canvases without tabs, im trying to figure out how to do this,
each canvas already includes tabs, but i want to include buttons that would move between the different canvases in the file without just using tabs.

There are four canvases and a single contents canvas that would include the buttons.

I'd like to be able to click on a button on any canvas and move to another page, in a similar fashion to buttons on a web site.

Sorry if i didn't make this clearer already lol, I'm really REALLY new to this.
Many thanks,
Paul

Hii,

as I understand, you want to link forms, using a button..

First, choose trigger WHEN-BUTTON-PRESSED,
Second, try this code, it may help you..
/* run_product code*/
begin
run_product(forms,'c:\windows\desktop\foldername\module',asynchronous, runtime, filesystem, ",");
exit_form;
end;

Note that foldername: is the folder in which you put all the forms you want to connect and they are in desktop , for example.
(You have to ensure the path of the folder..)

module: is the name of the form you want to open..

Hope thats exactly what you want.. Razz

Stick with the call_form, open_form etc that was recommended in a higher post. Leave the run_product alone.
