Are standalone forms possible?

[jsherk]

Hi

I'm new to ooBase, and was wondering if you can create a db with a form, and then somehow run the form as a "standalone program" so to speak, so that the person filling out the form does not have the ability to change the form or modify the design of the database, except for specific info they would enter into the form itself. By 'standalone program' I guess I mean that you just can't access design mode.

I'm not sure if I'm using the right terminology, so you can help me out on that as well!

Thanks

you can create a desktop shortcut to the desired form. See http://www.baseprogramming.com/resources.html for an extension that creates such a shortcut. I have not formally completed the extension, and do not remember if there are any bugs. At least it should give you an idea how the code that can do what you need.

Another way (cause that extension didnt work out of the box for me, and I havent had time to figure out why yet) is to open your form and then save a copy of it to your Desktop with "Save copy as". Then you just have to open your copy and reconnect it to the database.
