Linda,

>I am working on an application where the users need to be able to move between various related tables (about 8) to see different information related to the record selected on the main tab. I thought I would use the business form. Some of the tables will require more than one tab to display the information.

>What I'm wondering is if I'll run into problems on tabs related to different tables. Also, I notice that there is not an edit command button built in. At least half the time, they only need to look at information so I would prefer that the default be a read-only mode and they would have to select edit. Is this the right form to use as a starting place, should I use something else or do I need to build my own?

You should be able to use multiple business objects on the same form displaying information contained in different tables.

We don't have a specific "edit mode" in MM .NET (most of our users don't create interfaces with different editing modes). That said, if you want to do this, using mmBusinessForm is a good starting point.

Best Regards,
