Call Update Form without a Browse

[gavinwebb]

When my user logs in I lookup with customer they belong to.  I have a My Settings menu which I want use to open a Form to edit the fields in the customer table for that user.  I have an update form already for the customer called "UpdateCustomer", I also have the unique ID for the customer in a session variable.  Can you tell me how to make this call please from my menu?

Thanks

Thanks Bruce, I've looked at the examples and I've put this in my menu (as a URL) and it works i.e. opens the record I need:

'UpdateCustomers?change_btn=change&_bidv_=' & p_web.AddBrowseValue('pageheadertag','Customers',CUS:PK_CustomerID,p_web.GetSessionValue('CustomerID'))

However.........it opens full screen, whereas when I go via a browse the form opens as a popup.  How can I make this work as a popup.

I tried using the procedure call method, this worked without "popup" checked, but when I checked popup it didn't work.

Any ideas?

So calling it in procedure mode works fine unless I check the box about popup - then it fails to have the record.

I can confirm what somebody else reported "Popup reseting session value of unique key".  It put in this trace statement in GenerateForm embed:
MESSAGE(p_web.GSV('CUS:CustomerID'))

When in non-popup it has the ID value, when in popup mode it's empty.

Is this a bug, how can I get around it?

Hi Bruce
I'm running 6.26 and this still seems to be an issue.  i.e. calling a form directly from a browse in procedure popup mode.
Is there a way I can work around this?
Thanks
Gavin
