I want to use a Button The Switch to an Alternate, in Form Update mode, allowing me to select a different form to view the same record.
4 Forms are attached to the same database. alternate forms present many fields as the original form,  a combination of unique and shared fields.
When an alternate form is opened, i want that the original form and the alternate form are opened showing the same record.
I would like that the original form and the alternate form both remain open.
Is that possible?

Thank you for your help!

Erika you are right!
I noticed the Alternate Form commands from Tree is very slow. I simply wish the Navigation faster and secure.

Your opinion is appreciated!

Hello!
I am trying to use switch to the alternate from a Main Menu.

I added a new three forms to an existing database (Form).

and wand tu use the @XResultSetSearch Function to open directly  the desired form.
But I have no idea why it does not work.


Form : Aufnahme

the new three Copies von Aufnahme Form
                  Chemie
                  Sero
                  Allergie


Hier ist  the code

var vRS as Int
var vDatei as String
var vList as String
var vVorname as String
var vNachname as String
var vgeb as Date

vVorname = ".." + Select Vorname + ".."
vNachname = ".." + Select Nachname + ".."
vGeb      = @Str(Select Geb)

vDatei =  "Aufnahme" ( it is OK)
vDatei = "Aufnahme!"+Select Datei (not OK)
//writeln(vDatei)

vRS = @XResultSetSearch(@FN,vDatei, 0, 2,"!Nachname=" + vNachname,"!Vorname=" + vVorname,"!Geb="+ vGeb)
If @XResultSetTotal(vRS) > 0

                       {
                             clear(Select Nachname;Select Datei;Select Vorname;Select Geb)
                             
                             XResultSetOpenForm(vRS, vDatei)
                             XResultSetClose(vRS)
                               
                       }
else
@msgBox("Diese Auswahl wurden nicht gefunden","","")

Hello Ben,

Your demo is very helpfull.
All the forms are in the same database.

My command starts from a different form (colled main menu)

Aufnahme is a Form with  three alternative forms.

vSelection ="Aufnahme,Chemie,Allergie,Sero"

I would like the "XResultSetOpenForm(vRS, vSelection)"  open directly  the alternate form (vSelection).

Thanks.

Try the following programming

Form : Aufnahme

var vRS as Int
var vDatei as String
var vList as String
var vVorname as String
var vNachname as String
var vgeb as Date

vVorname = ".." + Select Vorname + ".."
vNachname = ".." + Select Nachname + ".."
vGeb	= @Str(Select Geb)

vDatei =  Select Datei ( it is OK)

vRS = @XResultSetSearch(@FN,vDatei, 0, 2,"!Nachname=" + vNachname,"!Vorname=" + vVorname,"!Geb="+ vGeb)
If @XResultSetTotal(vRS) > 0

				{
					clear(Select Nachname;Select Datei;Select Vorname;Select Geb)

 					XResultSetOpenForm(vRS, vDatei)
					XResultSetClose(vRS)
					  
				}
else
