>>>Hi,
>>>
>>>I'm running an exe and there's a part of the program that uses EXECSCRIPT() to run some code in a memo field. The problem I have is that the code in the memo field is trying to run a form but I'm getting the error "File 'frmFilter' does not exist", I guess since the code is not in the exe it cannot see the form. Any workarounds to be able to run the form?

Or, alternately, have a factory object living outside of the script but available to it (and executing in the current datasession) which will create the form and return a reference.

I forgot to mention that this is an executable that I cannot change. So the only solution up to know is to create the popup thru code in the memo and then call it, it's basically a form with a combobox where they can choose a store and it will filter on that store, never done that but I imagine I can recreate the form with all the code (mainly in the combobox)?

Thanks.
