To check the status of an individual global object:
-
In the
Form Control form, select the
Global Objects tab.
-
Optionally, in the
Actions group box, select
Check Out. This is
recommended.
Note: You can select other options in the
Actions group box, but
be aware that your choice can affect the list of objects that is displayed. For
example, if you select
Check Out, Form Control
looks for it in the master database. If you select
Check In, Form Control
looks for it in the run-time database. To determine where Form Control is
looking for the form, note that the location is designated by the
Database on the
Database object name field label.
-
From the
Selection criteria list,
select the type of object for which you want to see the status.
-
From the
Database object name field, select the object you
want to view.
Note:
- The
Database designation in this step changes
according to what
Actions option you
have selected.
- The list of available objects changes according to the type
you selected in the
Selection criteria
list.
Form Control displays this information about the selected object:
- Locked By User
- If anyone currently has the object checked out, this field
displays the user ID for that individual. If this field is blank, the object is
not checked out.
-
SourceDatabase Value
- This field displays the current value of the object in the
designated source database.
-
TargetDatabase Value
- This field displays the value, if any, that the object has in
the designated target database.
