The Form Builder will create a Fast Form.


A Fast Form is just a term that refers to a Form built with the Form Builder.


The Form Builder does 3 or 4 things.

  1. Creates a Form and it's Objects.
  2. Creates any columns needed for Browse or Browse Edit type Forms.
  3. Adds a Button Object on the Testing Tab of the Developer's Home Page OR if it was a Subform, let's you know the Code of the Form that was created.


Table Name

This is a nuScroll Object that will allow you to do 1 of 2 things.

  1. Create a new table name and its field names.
  2. Choose an existing table and then be able to scroll through its field names in all of the Field Name Objects.
  • Launch Forms do not require a Table Name.

Table Type

  • Browse and Browse and Edit Forms require at least 1 Browse Column checkbox must be ticked.

Objects

To create a Fast Form the Form Builder has the following predefined Objects...

Clicking one of these Object will add a record to the subform list of Objects to be created, and allow you to do 2 things.
