Re: Question for help to create specs to enhance Push Button to open Form or Report

by egwjens :: Rate this Message:

Hello

I got a similar problem,

just want to insert a button, to open an other form or report from a previous form. Only button actions are submit, new, reload, save data etc...

normaly, someone has to "step into" the control center of OO Base and find all the other tools, when he wants to open a new form. It is not very client or user friendly.

So, to open a form from an desktop icon, and then to jump from Base form to Base form via buttons looks for me much more user friendly.

I would also like, if the Base form is just in a frame/window, again without the tools of writer.

I dont believe, that this problem is not adressed, if anyone knows help here....

Greetings
Jens
