Form to table and back again...

[Danny Clarke]

I have a form which acts as a menu for the user (ie: several buttons which take the user to different reports). One of these buttons needs to take the user into the table itself. There's no problem there but since the menu form is a pop-up, you have to close it when opening something else or you can't see much! I can do this but how do I get it to re-open when the user closes the table window?

Any hints gratefully received,

Dan

I don't see any way to do this (I don't think there's any table close event that's accessible), but assuming the user has the full product (not using runtime) couldn't you simply hide the form (assuming it isn't a modal form)? Then let the user unhide it via the menu or a toolbar (friendlier).

Another possibility would be to simulate a table grid with a form (better in the runtime environment) or a form in datasheet view.
