I have two forms - in tabs’ both based on the same foundset (only separated in forms because of the amount of real estate available in one). I have the first form with a find and search ability. I’d like to have this functionality on both forms, but its clunky to have the find and search buttons on both forms and have to do the same thing twice (with reduce set on the second form search button).
Is there a way, after setting the form into find mode, to be able to switch to the second form and add criteria for the search there?
The reason I want to stick with the find and search rather than build a load records function is because I want the user to have all of the built in Servoy search criteria available - this keeps it uniform over the system.

You can put the buttons on your main form where you have the tabpanel.

That should just work. You can’t switch between the tabs ?

That’s not an option unfortunately because of the way the forms / menus and tabs work in this solution. We need a way to have both those forms in find mode at one time and then switch between them somehow.
Guess the clunky way will have to suffice for now!
