Multiple "parent" forms on a single database ? (Read 612 times)

	??? Is it possible with a single database to have more than one form showing the data. All I can find reference to in the tutorials and manual (so far) is the use of sub-forms that require a minimum of 2 databases. What I'd like is the ability to view _just_ the contact details for a person not their entire membership record when doing a lot of phone or address changes across many records. Or is it recommended to split information very carefully across multiple databases so this can be achieved using sub-forms ?

Make another Layout form using the same database (the same folder in the command tree). Bind the LEs to the proper fields of Database. View the LE as a window through which you are looking at the database field.

	Thanks Bharat - I was sure Sesame would have such a facility somewhere.
