Calling a form in View mode using URL

[bergsj]

Hi guys,

I have created a custom button on a browse that needs to open a form in viewing mode. I have called the url like this: frmCustomer?CUS__ID=123. When I do this, not customer 123 is being show, but the customer I had opened before that. So when I need customer 123, I know just need to open some other customer.
When I call the form the seem way, but with the addition of adding the action CHANGE, the correct customer is open right away.
What's is the correct way of opening in viewing mode with a custom button?

Thanks!
Sjoerd

I would open with action CHANGE but I would set a SSV before I called the form and then on the form read only condition I would check that GSV. There may be a VIEW action which would avoid having to set SSV but I have not used it.

On the Url put
&View_btn=View
instead of
&Change_Btn=Change

Thanks, did the trick. Why no View in the Action dropdown?
