IBM SC34-4499-03 Personal Computer User Manual


 
There are one or more subforms defined for all the Forms that allow user-defined
subforms. This allows you to augment or replace the subform supplied by
TeamConnection. The TeamConnection-supplied database teamc.nsf has all of the user
subforms defined. All of them are empty. You should define your initial database by
copying teamc.nsf so that you have all the subforms available (This process is
described in “Initializing the original template and creating a database” on page 112.)
These user subforms are not modified if you refresh or replace your design database
using the TeamConnection template fhcnotes.ntf, so you can be assured that your
subforms will remain intact if you update your database with a new version of this
template (as described in “Database maintenance: refreshing design from a template”
on page 119). User defined subforms follow a naming convention. All begin with the a
prefix of UserSm. followed by a suffix that indicates what Form they are associated
with. They are listed in the Subforms list of the Design section of the database. You
cannot create subforms. You must used the empty subforms supplied.
You can see where these subforms are specified on the main Form by opening that
form and locating one of the lines that display [Computed Subform]. Select the line and
look in the bottom pane. The name of the user subform that is loaded at that location in
the form is listed.
Note: See the Advanced Customization help topic for a detailed listing of forms and
subforms available.
