Set link for subform
Same Folder
If the subform is in the same folder as the calling form, the link looks like this:
../<name of the subform>
Different Folder
If the form is in a different folder, the link just mentioned is not sufficient.
If the subform is in an parent folder, the link could look like this:
../../<name of the subform>
If the subform is in a subfolder, the link could look like this:
../<folder containing the calling form>/<subfolder name>/<subform name>
Find out the exact link
A possible way to find out the exact link is to drag the subform that you want to link into a collaboration diagram that is on the same level as the calling form.
The set link can now be seen in the properties.
| The displayed link of a form, which is not a separate file but only a link in the project, points to the original. So here the method is not applicable. |
