Setting Up Forms to Load Automatically

Typically, you will find that there are a few forms that you use constantly or very often. You can use the AutoRun and PreLoad folders in My Folders to load and even open these forms automatically when you log in to the system.

• AutoRun: When you log in, the system automatically loads and opens any forms in the AutoRun folder. The system opens them at their default size and cascades them in the workspace.
• PreLoad: When you log in, the system automatically retrieves any forms in the PreLoad folder from the database into memory. This allows them to display more quickly when you open them later.

If the AutoRun or PreLoad folder is missing from My Folders, you can recreate it by adding a new folder and naming it AutoRun or PreLoad. For the procedure to add folders, see Adding Folders.

To set up forms to open automatically, copy the forms you want to load and/or open automatically into either the AutoRun or the PreLoad folder.

For the instructions to copy forms, see Copying Folders or Forms.
