Microsoft Visual FoxPro for Windows, version 3.0

SUMMARY

A dialog box prompts the user to enter a value for the parameter if you use a parameterized view stored in the data environment of a form and the parameter wasn t initialized before the form was opened. The dialog box pops up when the view opens. To prevent this from happening, you must specify an initial value for the parameter.

MORE INFORMATION

You can set the initial value of the parameter, and prevent the dialog box from appearing. In the BeforeOpenTables event of the data environment, declare the parameter as Public, and give it an initial value. For example:

   Public Myparam
   Myparam = "Initial Value"

Using this method ensures that there is an initial value for the parameter as the view is opened, so the dialog box doesn t appear.
