PREVIEWING MORE THAN ONE REPORT SIMULTANEOUSLY

[teknik]

We have a main form with properties as follow :
Desktop = .F.
ShowWindow = In Screen
Windowtype = Modeless
From this form the menu is called and the reports are called from the menu. But if we preview one report, the menu is disabled, as a result of which we cannot generate another report.

Thanks in advance

Clearly your system designer decided to make the preview window modal. This has nothing to do with Fox, it is just a design decision. If this was for a good reason, changing it will not going to be an easy task. Consult some of the experienced programmers in your team and discus your concern with them, I am sure they know why this decision was made in the first place even though I have a feeling that was because the project was in a hurry converted from Fox 2.X.

Best of luck

By default the Preview window is modal but I believe this will do it for you.

REPORT myReport.frx PREVIEW NOWAIT

Which still gives you access to the menus.
