Closing form without closing the App

When I try to run my compiled forms with the run time app, I close out of the entire application with the close_form or exit_form procedure. How do I close the form and keep the app open?
Sara
P.S. I tried opening with a form that does not do anything, no fields or anything, and it won't display.

Hi Sara,
whenever you open a application through NT command (for instance: f50run32 userid=scott/tiger@default <form_name>) the given form is your starting form.
Most of the time when you develop a application the starting form of that application with an image and the name of the application. Form there you can open other forms through the menu.
When you want to start another form directly from the start form use open_form(<form_name> in the when_new_form_instance trigger. In that case you give the user a certain starting form when that isn't THE starting form of that application.
For example:
2 you have 2 forms (FORM_A and FORM_B). You start your application with
f50run32 userid=scott/tiger@default FORM_A.
Then FORM_A is THE starting form of the application.
In FORM_A, in the when_new_form_instance trigger you call FORM_B.
Then FORM_B is the starting form for the user and not for the application. When you close FORM_B, FORM_A is still active.
Hope this helps!

  • I have an iPad 2 running iOS 8. The email app is not working. The screen shows empty email box, then closes on its own. I have tried closing the app, turning ipad on and off and reset to no avail. Any other ideas? Thanks.

    I Have an iPad 2 running iOS 8. When I open email, the email isn't there. I have tried closing the app, turning off the ipad and resetting the iPad. None of that helps. Any ideas? Thanks.

    So the app is opening to a white screen then closing on its own?  If you have deleted your email accounts & the app is still crashing then I would try resetting all settings (without deleting data).
    Did you reboot the iPad after removing the email accounts?  If not, try that first holding the home & sleep/wake buttons simultaneously until the apple logo appears, then release & once booted back up, try opening the mail app again. 
    The problem may have started because one of your email messages might have been corrupt or had a corrupt attachment.  If you can access it from a computer, sign into your email & see if there are any that can't be opened or produce errors opening.  If so, delete the offending emails then try adding the account back to the iPad.

  • Why viber is not working when i am closing the app?

    in my iphone 4 mobile i am facing a problem. when i am closing my apps i am not getting any calls. when i am opening the apps then i am getting calls, sms and miscalls. I am connected with wifi. in this same connection others users are getting calls when they are closing the app. what is my problem? i have uninstalled the app and again i have installed it. but problem remains same. Anyone is not getting me!!!! Please reply as soon as possible.

    Try the stamdard fixes to rule out a software problem:
    - Reset. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iPod touch:  Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory defaults/new iPod.

  • Can I make it so Firefox remembers the websites from when I closed the app and automatically open them like in other browsers.

    You may need to update your Firefox to get these features. It was introduced somewhat recently.

  • After opening an email of photos from my mom, the email app won't open. I've rebooted the iPad, I've closed the app and reopeneded it. When I open it I get the basic frame (reply button, delete, etc) but none of my accts show up.

    When I first opened the email, it took forever to open. Then the pics didn't show up as pics, but as a ton of some kind of code. Since then, the app will open with just the frame, no info in the frame, no email accts or anything. Then it closes automatically after a few seconds.
    I've closed the app and reopened it, rebooted the iPad, and gone online and deleted the email itself. But the app still won't open. Help, please!!

    Thank you. I tried the soft reboot again, and the home button has been working fine this whole time. I have tried deleting the email acct from the settings and the mail app still opens only empty frames. I have a screen shot of it, but don't know how to post it here to be able to show what exactly is happening.
    The mail app will open. I can see the area that usually shows the messages themselves. I can also see the area that usually displays all the accts. Both these areas are completely blank. The search bar is showing on the left hand side, and up on the top right, the download button, reply, delete and compose buttons are showing. At the very bottom left the refresh button is showing. The app sits like that for about 20 seconds and then automatically closes. None of the buttons are responsive. I cannot see any of the email accounts I have in the app (3, usually but 2 at the moment since deleting the acct that seemed to have caused this problem).
    I have force-stopped the app, shut down and restarted the iPad, and rebooted the iPad. None of these have helped.

  • I have an old 4GB Ipod nano and an I-Phone 4S. I only want music to sync to my I-Pod without all the apps from the phone. Can someone tell me how to do this please?

    I'm updating the music in my I-Tunes. I have an old 4GB Nano but I also have an I-Phone 4S. I only want music and nothin else on my I-Pod, how can I get it to sync without all the apps as, obviously the I-pod doesn't have enough memory?

    "Other" is data that the iPod doesn't know how to deal with (but on your nano, it isn't Apps). All iPods have some quantity of "Other" on them. Sometimes Other is corrupt files that cannot be read.
    The usual remedy when the quantity of Other becomes too big, is to Restore the iPod. However, 0.26GB of Other doesn't appear to be very much and I suspect you won't see much change, if any, if you Restore.

  • How can I create a long employment form without making the form widget drag?

    How can I create a long employment form without making the form widget drag?

    Sorry Sachin, I mean that I created a simple form on the page from the widget and started adding fields to it. The more fields I add the slower the delay becomes in creating a new field. Even when I try to select and drag or move an item, there's a huge delay and sometimes the program feezes,  loose what i've done and have ot restart.
    I'm doing an enployment form that has more than 20 fields, at least, and I need to be able to build the fields in separate categories, like Education, Past Employment, etc... quickly without delay issues.
    I can probably send you a snap shot of what I'm talking about if I cna post it or attach it here..?

  • How do I clear list of items purchased without deleting the apps?

    How do I clear list of items purchased without deleting the apps? Also, is there away to attach photos from camera roll when replying or writing a new email?

    There is no way to remove items from the purchased list on the iPad.
    You can send a photo from the mail app by tapping and holding down in the body of the email and select - Insert Photo or Video - from the black options bar that will pop up.

  • I just bought my company boss's iphone 3gs and want to set it up in my PC without loosing the apps on it.

    I just bought my company boss's iphone 3gs and want to set it up in my PC without losing the apps & music already on  it.  I have  already got a library for my old iphone 3g and was wondering how to go about it. 
    cheers

    That's called stealing, plain & simple. Your boss(or anyone for that matter) does not have the right to distribute any content, for any reason. The SLA does not permit such. When you plug the phone into your computer, all iTunes content will be erased from the phone, as it should be. You want content, purchase your own.

  • I have an iPad that I want to update to IOS 5.1. I have several apps that each were installed using a different iTunes ID. How can I update the IOS without losing the apps?

    I have an iPad that I want to update to IOS 5.1. I have several apps that each were installed using a different iTunes ID. How can I update the IOS without losing the apps?

    To update your phone requires using the latest version of iTunes, on your computer, as well as Internet access. The update to iOS 5.0 or higher is an erase/restore deal, so you not only have to make sure all of the content, currently on your phone, is on your computer and accessible, you need to update iTunes first, have Internet access, then update your phone. There is no way around this fact. You could go to an Apple store or use another computer, but you run the risk of losing all of your data it you do that.

  • How to automatically submit a form without clicking the button?

    Hi,
    Is there any way to submit a form without clicking the button? Any idea is greatly appreciated.
    -Joey

    well if you are filling some textfields you can do a onchange call so you can submit the form, or use any of the existing functions to do that.
