OK, this is a question that I asked tech support this morning about, and they're still working on it as of 4:00 PM. So I'm going to post it here too, just in case someone has the answer.



What I am trying to do is to start the System Editor / Form Designer and specify the subroutine/form that it should automatically open when it starts. 



So if I have a form called TEST I want to be able to pass the form name in the call to start Form Designed so that when it opens, TEST opens with it in design mode. Same thing for the System Editor. 



I know this is possible because in the main OI window, if you highlight a procedure and click on the System Editor button, the System Editor starts and opens up that procedure automatically. Form Designed does a similar thing. The question is how?



So far I used the Utility function with the /AP /UN switches to start DWB.EXE or FORMDES.EXE . Is there another switch there that can be used? Or am I totally off?



I hope you can help

<QUOTE>Here is a command line that may help you out in solving your problem, or at least give you a reference point from which to work from.



RUN SET_PROPERTY 'SYSTEM','IDLEPROC','!DWB.EXE |

/UN=PROJECT /AP=PROJECT /TN=PROJECT*STPROC**ROJAM'

<QUOTE>Thanks for this. It works great for the system editor.



Can I also ask you to research the corresponding switch for the Form Designer? This switch seems to only work with the System Editor.



Thanks. Your help is much appreciated !!!

<QUOTE>Since the System Editor switch was /TN (for Text Name I presume), I tried /WN for Window Name and it worked !!!



So here's the line that can be typed at the Run prompt in Windows or passed to Utility("RUNWIN", ...) :



C:\REVSOFT\OINSIGHT\Formdes.exe /AP=EXAMPLES /UN=EXAMPLES /WN=TEST_FORM



where TEST_FORM is the name of the form as it appears in @window, and NOT the full SYSREPOS id as you need to pass for the System Editor.



Speaking the System Editor, how can I now open any row in any attached data table? There would be no repository entry for that so is there a different switch?





As a suggestion, could you (Revelation) add a paper to the Knowledge Base section detailing ALL these command line switches? Please, please, please....



Hope to hear from you soon



Thanks
