I am a newbie so please forgive my ignorance.  I have a number of questions as I am trying to get my head around the concept of a child form dialog control.

1 - If I create a basic maintenance form for a specific business object that I plan to launch from a menu to add / edit / or delete records, can that same form also be used as the child form that will be called from a parent form via a child form dialog control on the parent form?

2 - Assuming that the answer to question 1 above is "Yes", if I want to call several different maintenance forms from a single parent form will I need to add multiple child form dialog controls to the parent form?

3 - Can a child form that was called via a child form dialog control on a parent form call a browse dialog?

Thanks Edhy for your reply.

In order to be able to call multiple child form dialogs from a single parent form will I need to drop multiple child form dialog controls on the parent form?




You are welcome Sam, and yes, you can drop as many as you need and also based on the logic you decide to use, you can make backups of the BO data at any stage you want in case you want to synch all BO changes related to the parent and either save then all, or save them each one at a time. You have full control on what you may want to accomplish here.
