After you open an existing form or create one, the Form Edit window appears. There are two tabs in the edit window, the Design tab and the Source tab. The Design tab is available for detail forms, list forms, and menu bar forms, and shows the controls on the form laid out more or less as a user would see them. It is not an image of how the form looks to an end user. To see this, select Tools, Preview.
The Source tab is a Notepad-style editor allowing you to review and edit the source code for a form. Some forms are editable only in the Source tab. For those forms, the edit window opens up on the Source tab, and the Design tab is disabled.
The title bar of the edit window shows the name of the form, its interface, and (if appropriate) its form group. You can open edit windows for more than one form at the same time.
Important! When you create or edit a detail or list form, make sure to use the "list_" and "detail_" prefixes" to name the HTMPL file. For example, use "list_test.htmpl" and "detail_test.htmpl." Adding this prefix lets you correctly preview a form. When you save a detail template with a custom name, you must also manually edit the <PDM_WSP> tag. For example, <PDM_WSP mode=edit preview="test.htmpl+OP=CREATE_NEW" factory=cr>.
