You can specify which menu options to run when you } start I-SQL. See Appendix H of the "Informix-SQL Reference version 6.0" } part number 000-7607, entitled "Accessing Programs From The Operating } System." } I know you can run a form from the command line with "isql dbname -fr frmname" but I don't think you can run the "Add", "Update", etc. within the form from the command line.
