Look into the use of screen arrays to display multiple records at once. -> I would like create a GUI to display multiple records per screen, then Except for some DOS Windows products, Informix forms are not true GUI yet. -> be able to select one of those records to display multiple rows and -> columns. This will be on a Sun running Solaris 2.2 This is fairly easy to do in 4GL. Can't speak to other products, since I work primarily in 4GL. -> I would also like to include either GUI controls or function keys -> within the interface. Function keys are not particularly hard in Informix 4GL. -> Any help would be greatly appreciated. -> -> Andrew Mikesell -> Andy_Mikesell@mail.amsinc.com I guess what I am trying to say is, don't sell Informix too short too soon. The 4GL and forms are not perfect, but they have features and capabilities of which you appear to be unaware. Regards, Alan ___________________________ ______________________| R.
