Edit Form/Global Script dialog box

Also known as the Windows client script editor, use the Edit Form/Global Script dialog box to create, edit, and debug form scripts and global scripts.

The type of script you develop depends on how you access this dialog box:

  • With a form open and in Design Mode, you can access this dialog box using:
    • The Edit menu, Script Editor option
    • The Edit Form Script button in the top left corner of the Form property sheet

    Either of these actions signals that you are developing a form script by opening this editor as the Edit Form Script dialog box.

  • In Design Mode, with or without a form open, you can access this dialog box using the Edit menu, Script option.

    This action signals that you are developing a global script by opening this editor as the Edit Global Script dialog box.

Regardless of which type of script you are developing, the options and procedures are virtually the same.
