What is the instruction to call form designer in OI8 with the form name as a parameter. This will speed up my development procedure.

TIA

Chris-

Given that this is a development system (either a W or D serial number), you can invoke the Repository function, using the Design method, passing the key to the form as the second parameter.

x=Repository('DESIGN', ENTITYID)

Thank Mike, yes this is my development system but no luck with:

x=Repository('DESIGN', 'PBC*OIWIN**FORMNAME)

Had better luck with:

VAL=SEND_MESSAGE('SYSTEM','RUNTOOL',@WINDOW,1,FormName)

This started form designer but did not pass the form name to form designer.

Any ideas would be appreciated.

TIA

Chris
