Topic: Show form function

Hi all,

I have a curiosity question: When calling a form containing one or many grids with auto queries from a button "show form", the grids are automatically refreshed and display any data requested, why is it not the case when calling the very same form from a script that contains either ShowModal or Show, the form appears but the grids are empty unless we write the scripts with tablegrid.dbupdate?

use ShowRecord instead.

var recid: Integer;
recid := 1; // let's say you want to show record with ID: 1
Form1.ShowRecord('tablename', recid);
