Open invisible form at specific record (newbie)

[Richard]

Hello,

I am writing a database application. At present I create new classes
of forms from a Main subprocedure on startup. What I then do is to
make those classes visible and make the calling form hidden when I
need to open a form.

I now need to open one of these forms at a specific record. What I
did was to create a property on the form I want to open and to get the
calling form to set that property when I need it. Except the form has
really already loaded - with the dataset set to no records, since
there was no property passed to it, it assumed that the record number
was NULL.

Is there a way to do what I want or do I need to completely rethink
the actual interface?

Richard,

Despite all theories, in my opinion is a windows form application human
driven.
They use your forms, they use the database etc etc.

Windowsapplications are not old legacy dataprocessing systems that are
driven by database actions.

The first interface of the user is the UI, the form.

That idea I got from your message,

Cor
