Finding Forms (OpenInsight 32-Bit)

Is there a quick way to find all Forms that have a control bound to dictionary field?
We added some codes and the control is usually a drop list/combo box on the forms.
One of the gotchas I ran across is that if you populate a combo box with a code that is not in the combo box list of items the data will be nulled.
For example we add a status code of "5" to an existing list of "10","20","30","99". Form A the combox was changed, a record gets created with Form A status code=5". Form B did not get updated. User pulls up the above record in Form B and status code gets set to null. The user makes changes to other fields and saves the record with status code now set to null.

If you are tracking dictionary entries in the repository then theoretically you could browse the relationships however this seems not to work and I have a vestigial recollection of Breanna disabling this back in the day to speed up saves of forms. For now you could easily track Forms using a table to narrow it down or just write a quick utility :(

Well the majority of the forms were ported over from ARev so I suppose I can just search the WINDOWS file there. Easier than searching hither, tither and yond in all the SYSREPOSxxxx files.

Well if you have the annual Works CDs you have our Technical Bulletin on SYSREPOSWIN structures and could use this as the basis of a utility. But a search in AREV or aliasing SYSREPOSWINS from AREV and selecting and editing is another way around.

Speaking of which did the 2004 disc get sent out? I'll have to check.
The tech bulletins in question are not on the 2003 Works CD, but they are on the 2002 CD (which we do not have). Sean emailed us the your tech bulletin on the compiled windows Repository structures. I didn't follow up to get the other bulletin. I was able to make assumptions from the compiled structure to make a somewhat working menu cloner (cut and paste menus between MDIs).

Actually a utility like SKELETON would be nice. I just got through adding a subroutine to handle the @WINDOW.RECORD/ID/@RECORD/@ID not being populated on locked records to all our forms. That was fun. Especially on the FORMS using the main table with 500+ dictionary items and having to wait and wait while the temp dictionary gets built each time.

SKELETON for OI was distributed in the last FREE SENL still available at our site. We even distribute it as a kind of Open Source…
