Hi,
I am tring to have more than 1 form in a ‘show in dialog window’, but when i try to open a 2nd ‘show in dialog window’ the first form disappears.
Any Ideas??

That is expected behavior…

Hi PR

If you use ```
application.showFormInDialog(forms.contacts,100,80,500,300,‘my own dialog title’,false,true,true);


Use ```
application.closeFormDialog(false); //closes only the last open form in the dialog to close the forms one at a time i
``` to close the forms one at a time.

This enables you to control what users are seeing and branch off depending on their choices.

Hi HTH,
Thank you for your reply, this is the code I am currently using, but I am a bit unsure where to use the application.closeFormDialog(forms.invoice_data_entry,false);
code as you suggested.

forms.invoice_data_entry.inv_view_only(); //validation sub-script
application.closeFormDialog(forms.invoice_data_entry,false);
application.showFormInDialog( forms.invoice_data_entry,-1,-1,650,850,'Invoice Details',true);

I thought the above would keep the form.invoice_data_entry open until I close it manually.

Sorry in advance if I am just stupid

No problem - but you cannot control the order that Forms in Dialog close - last one opened is the first one closed.

application.closeFormDialog(false); - close the last opened form but leaves any previous ones open and displays the last-but-one to be opened.

application.closeFormDialog(); - closes ALL forms opened with Form in Dialog command.
