Document Subject: How to launch a form when opening a database in the browser
Hint Short Cut: Add this to your code & documentation to help you find this page.
http://#LaunchForm or http://A555F9/nn.nsf/ByAlias/LaunchForm

This tip from my old mate Rufus, which I thought I already had in here.




In the "When opened in a browser" list of options there is no "Launch a form".

 

To fudge this:

Create a blank navigator, call it launch ( not lunch unless you are hungry) .

Give the form you want to launch the alias or name "$$NavigatorTemplate for launch".

Set the "When opened in a browser" list of options in the launch tab of the database properties to "Open designated navigator in its own window"

Open the database in the browser with the .nsf eg: http://adfos.com/world-cup.nsf

   

Alternatively set to launch as a page and then add javscript in the page to launch the form.

NB: This will not work with a view and a view template, you will receive a entry not found in index.
