Linking Add, Edit, Show Record, and Table Pages

You may want to link together several pages after creating them with the Application Wizard.  In particular, Table Report pages contain Edit and Show buttons as placeholder links to Edit Record and Show Record pages you may want to connect.  However, these links are not connected and clicking them results in a “page not found” error. 

Step 1:  Use the Application Wizard to create these Add, Edit and Show Record pages.

Step 2:  Use the Property Sheet to connect the unbound buttons using the Button Actions properties.

Step 3:  Build and run your application.

The Table Report pages created by the Application Wizard contain Edit and Show icons (notepad and magnifying glass, respectively) that are not connected to pages.  You may optionally remove the Edit and Show buttons, or connect them to pages.
