If you have a main menu that is used on multiple forms a universal navigation system is a must.

This method will allow you to create all your links prior to having all the forms available and more importantly it will allow you to edit a single file to update every form in the application that uses the menu.

To create a your links navigate to the code tab, select New + Script ( using Action scripting)

Select Add new, then in the category pane select Form/Brows, in the Action pane select Open form or Browse Layout.

Now you can select the specific form for this link or any available form if the form in question has not been created yet.

You will then save the link to match the text of the corresponding menu item.

Now you will navigate to the Form tab and select the master form and then put it in design mode.

Select a menu item and then the events icon:

Select the on push event, select the Action scripting option and then the Add new action icon.

In the Left ( Category pane ) select Scripts, in the right ( Action pane) select Run a script. in the pop up window select the corresponding link for the menu item.

Repeat the process with the remaining menu items and then save your form.

Once the form menu is complete you can easily update the links on all the forms that utilize the menu by navigating to the code section and editing the link scripts therein.
