The InvoiceReportMenu Form

Description

The InvoiceReportMenu form presents the user with a variety of choices for printing invoices. The RADIO1 option button stores a value into a form variable named option. The conditional object COND1 responds to the change of the value of option by displaying one of four pages. Each page captures user input and stores it in one or more form variables.

In addition, the form demonstrates the following controls and techniques:

1. Using Xbasic to Create Queries demonstrates a powerful technique for dynamically creating a print query.

2. Creating and Programming a Hotspot with Action Scripting demonstrates the ease of using Actin Scripting.

3. Creating and Programming Hotspots with Xbasic demonstrates how to achieve the same results with Xbasic
