Report grid data entry tool
This tool lets you enter and update report grid data.
This tool is displayed on a report when the Use Form To Edit property of the selected report grid has been set to Yes or Popup at design time:
- When Use Form To Edit is set to Yes in the Form Designer, the tool will be embedded in the report.
- When Use Form To Edit is set to Popup in the Form Designer, the tool will be launched in a popup window.
The fields present in the tool depend on which control elements were added to the report grid control when it was set up.
