Use
the Extra Windows window to add extra windows to the Detail Form.
An extra window allows you to increase the number of fields
available for data entry as well as adding the ability to enter
notes on an Extender Detail Form. There are 4 types of extra
window, Standard, Logic, Note and Note List. A Standard extra
window allows you to define 15 additional data entry fields. Logic
extra windows do not open a window at all; instead a logic event is
triggered. A Note extra window allows you to enter a single note. A
Note List extra window allows you to enter a list of date, time and
user tracked notes. When an extra window is added to a Detail Form,
a button is added to the bottom of the Detail Form. Clicking the
button opens the extra window. The Button Prompt field on the extra
window definition controls the label of the extra window button.
The Window Name field on the extra window definition controls the
title of the extra window. You can have a maximum of 50 extra
windows on a Detail Form. Only 4 of these windows will have buttons
displayed on the main window. The other extra windows are available
from the Extras menu.
