This should be simple, but it's not working for me - where is my error?   Will FormViewType("Form", FORM_VIEW_TYPE_FORM) work on a subform if the code is initiated from the parent form?  

I wish to change the SOLines subform from tableview to Formview (on Form Entry it presents in Form view)
Parent form Orders,  Subform SOLines ...

If (@FormViewType("SOLines") = FORM_VIEW_TYPE_TABLE)
   {
     FormViewType("SOLines", FORM_VIEW_TYPE_FORM)
     ForceRedraw()
   }

I can write code that changes the view from form to table, but the code doesn't work when attempting to change from table to form (I can do it with a command button on SOLines, but I wish to accomplish that with a print command button on the parent form Orders).

Hi Mark,

No, the subform starts as a 'formview' form.  I have a toggle command button in the subform so that the user can see in one glance the line items, quantities, and pricing for that order.  But then I need the subform to be returned to formview before printing the order.  I can have the users do that manually with a message box reminder, but doing that in code would be much more elegant

Mark,

I will try your suggestions.

fyi, I put a command button on the parent form Orders, and put the following code in the OnElementEntry event of the button ...
If (@FormViewType("SOLines") = FORM_VIEW_TYPE_TABLE)
    {
     FormViewType("SOLines", FORM_VIEW_TYPE_FORM)
     ForceRedraw()
    }
if SOLines is in table view, nothing happens

But, if I put this following code in the button,
SubformVisibility("LE0", 0)
       ForceRedraw()

then the subform disappears, as instructed by the code.  So I know that some code from the parent will impact my subform, but not (yet) the FormViewType command.

nothing happens

Give it a try. Its always a good idea to name everything uniquely.

I found a problem (using Gems) and have fixed it. The fix will be in the next release. I'm sorry for the inconvenience.
