Of course! I must say though that I've never bothered with this. My
interest is in the .wfm used to create the .sfm and if I change the .wfm I
immediately regenerate the .sfm. As far as I'm concerned the current .sfm
is always there. If I do want to see that it's really there I find a
simple DIR in the command panel less hassle than changing the Navigator
tab to Other and then back to Forms which is the tab that is normally
selected. I NEVER manually change code in a .sfm file but if this ever
became necessary MODI COMM whatever.sfm in the command panel would do the
trick.
I spent a bit of time a few years ago playing with subforms but I don't
use them nowadays. Apart from the aggravation of not being able to modify
them directly in the designer, they are, by definition, non-MDI which in
most cases is not what I want when I open a secondary form. I prefer
using a normal form which can be opened modally if needed.
Mervyn.
