Access to other form's items [message #195943]

Hi,

I would like to know if it's possible to look into a form X (that's doesn't running!) from a form Y (that's is running). I need to know the item inside the form X from a form Y.

I think it's impossible, I need to call it ? Anyone can attach an example to search for an item in a form X from a form Y ?

Thank you!

If you need that value, why don't you select it?

SELECT column_value
INTO variable -> global one, perhaps? Parameter?
FROM ...

and use it wherever needed.

If the form is not running, then the form's item does not exist in the 'space' of your session. If this was a question asked of you then I think someone was pulling your leg.

hi
this is only possible
when you are using
global variables

you should use global variable which will take the value from one form to the other.

i hope this will work.

This assumes that you have opened the form and then closed it, and not terminated your overall session. If it has never been opened then it doesn't exist. Alternatively, store the data in a table and access it as you need.

That's what I've said in post #195968: select data directly from the table.

True, but my meaning was write the transitory data from form1 and read it from form2. I interpreted your thread to mean that the data exists always in database.
