Subject shortening references From Gaetano <gaetanodd@hotmail.com> Date Wed, 2 Sep 2020 06:52:38 +1000 Newsgroups dbase.getting-started I am trying to shorten script references by creating a shortcut to the FORM object. This is in the tutorial's customer.wfm form that is subclassed from the base.cfm form, in case it matters. I found this suggestion from Michael Nuwer and Ken in an old post but I am unable to implement it. ------------------- function from_onOpen this.fMytablename1=form.testdatamaodule1.Mytablename1.rowset.fields function whatever form.fMytablename1["myfieldName"].value -------------------- Essentially, in the canSave event of customer.wfm, I want to write something like: oF.mytoolbar1.resetToolbar() instead of this.parent.parent.parent.mytoolbar1.resetToolbar() Thanks for your help. Cheers, Gaetano.
