This Week's Topic: Forms Revisited

Forms have been around since the introduction of 4D. Every application
has at least two kinds of forms, one to list records and one to add and
edit records. The complexity of the forms depends on the designer and
the type of application. This Technical Note provides you with some
ideas and techniques to plan your next application or apply to your
current one.

This is only a sample of the many valuable Tech Notes that are available
to 4D Partners in the 4D Knowledgebase. There are many more advantages
to becoming a 4D Partner. Visit 4D Partner Central for more information.
