File Handler Suggestion

Hi -

In the past, I was using the following link to submit suggestions:

http://www.lantica.com/Support/support_request_form.html

I just tried it and got "Page Not Found".

In any event I have a suggestion for the "file handler" (at least I think that's what you call it).  It's the window in the lower part of the command area.

Presently you have to "scroll" (using the arrows) to find your selection. You might have to make as many as four clicks to "find" your choice and I find that annoying.

It would be much more convenient if you had "tabs" for each option, so that I could just click on the one I want, i.e.

Copy   Import   Export   Mass Update   Sort  

Thanks

I can access the page just fine.

Tabs is not really a feasible option as there can be more than five choices. For example if you have a subform you have I believe 7 different options. This goes up with each subform that you have.

But 2.0 does have the ability to right-click on the Spec Handler title bar and it brings up a list of the available spec windows from which you can make a selection.

Ray -

I just tried the link again and it worked fine.  Perhaps there was something wrong with the server (or "whatever") when I tried it earlier.

I still like the tab idea.  What about a second "row" of tabs only when the form contains sub-forms.  The top row would remain as is and the second row - would contain the options for the sub-form(s).

In any event, being able to right click and make a selection would definitely be an improvement and I'm looking forward to trying it - and I'm looking forward to trying it - and I'm looking forward to trying it ........           lol

Thanks!
