Understanding Scope

Am I correct in saying that in the most current release of Sesame, global code can only be seen by the database it is in?

If I have an application that has a database named contacts and a database named Collections and I have a subroutine in contacts that pops up the options for a callback date that subroutine can Not be used in a collections database form, even if it is a subform of Contacts?

Thanks

Global Code in a particular Form or Report (Layout) can only be seen by that Layout. It cannot be seen by other Layouts even if the other Layout is a parent or child of the one with the subroutine. You can, however, duplicate the subroutine in the Global Code for both the Form and Subform without fear of collision.

Thanks. You must be a mind reader. You answered my next question before I even asked.

So I will ask one I have been wondering about for a while. I see the use of Cnext with if statements in many examples. Is Cnext a programming convention that is used or is it a command or something I should not pay any attention to or ???

Thanks

CNext, CPrev, CHome, CEnd are there only for Q&A compatibility. In Q&A, CNext would move to the next field, CPrev moved to the previous field, etc.

In Sesame, the only command that should be used to move to a particular element is ThrowFocus().
