2.6.1 Creating a Logical Formfile

You can create a logical formfile with toolkit as follows:

Start toolkit on your database:

c:\> toolkit dbname

Select 2 - Data Entry Forms Menu from the Toolkit Development Menu.

Select D1 - Create a Data Entry Form from the Data Entry Forms Menu.

Enter the new logical formfile name.

Enter the description of the formfile. See Chapter 5, Creating Formfiles for more information.

To create a logical formfile with commands, enter:

c:\> formedit -cv lfname

Lfname is the logical name for the new formfile. Formedit (C-1) assumes that the database has toolkit style subdirectories; formedit puts the formfile in the scr subdirectory. Formedit runs the formdef(C-1) program to interactively create the formfile definition.
