launch form after log in

Postby Ted Giles » 30 June 2021, 15:03

Can I simply add a Show (form name) after the log in check?
I would try it but am away from a pc for a while so just collecting thoughts if anyone can bear with me.

Also, can Remember Me be used to launch a form with specific user credentials?

Not sure how remember me works so I will research on the documentation.

I believe my acme app has a "remember me" in it you can refer to as an example.

I have read the documentation, but cannot see or work out how to actually open a form following log in.
Is in the After Login? or On Login?
Could some kind person point me at the command so I can figure it out, please?
The user has a preference for almost no button pushing, so the Menu is on top and they just want the most frequently used form to launch after log in, whilst maintaining a Menu at the top.

That's me over thinking it again.
Drag the Form onto the AfterLogin event and set it to SHOW.
So now, depending on the person logging in, I can show the page most used.
Neat!
