forms

Options

formname

Names an existing form to modify. The name can be 1 to 18 characters long.

MODAL
Allows an EEP command block to launch a Form, Label or Report in a designer. After making appropriate changes, you will have to save the changes and close the designer in order to continue the next command in your EEP.

tblview

This option is for R:BASE for DOS only; names the first table or view that a form serves. Use this option when you are creating a new form. This option is available only if you start to build a form from the R> prompt with a database open. Specify both formname and tblview when you want to build a new form. R:BASE displays the "Form Designer" screen where you can begin to define the new form. Use formname alone to specify the name of an existing form you want to modify.
