All,

We are evaluating the StrataFrame product.  Our current application suite has the following design:

Browse List (Filter, order, etc.)
   ->>>  Entry Form --> Related Browse Lists with SELECT button

We reuse a lot of code.  So instead of creating a SelectTable browse, we use the "Browse List" procedure.  For entry fields that are coming from related tables or are used to populate lookup values, we call the corresponding Browse procedure, which returns the users selection to the entry field.

I have been told it is doable with StrataFrame, but being new to this environment (< 4 days evaluating), can someone please post an example application that shows this technique?

Requirements:

1. Browse List appears first - populated with last filter/order
2. Options are displayed to the user-> Add new, Edit, View, Delete, Print, (Optionally SELECT if being called from another entry or browse form), Purge/Post (optionally)
3. The Add, Edit, View, Delete options call up the entry form - which may or may not be able to navigate through the current browse list (in our current Clarion based application the user cannot navigate so this would be an added benefit).

ANY help even if it is basic instruction, would be greatly appreciated!

I dont work for SF but I have found the CRM Application sample to be the best example.



Something close to what you want demonstrated might be to do the following.



Run CRM Application Sample from the Programs-Microfour Strataframe menu.



Select Customers, Select Browse..... now imagine that browse screen came up first and was potentially pre-populated with the values/options you mentioned. Once you know what you are doing with SF, that might take you all of an hour.



I am sure one of the SF boys will respond as well.
