I am wanting to edit some items:

  1. Want to change the VIEW/EDIT icons to show TEXT ("View", "Edit") either with or without the Icons.
  2. Need to make DETAIL forms open in separate browser window OR TAB, so users can look at more than 1 detail rec at a time.
  3. QuickSearch (where fields showed up in the Menu to search for) are now gone. Quick Search and Search are enabled. This seemed to have disappeared with the new build made 2/19/10(where Menu was fixed not to overlay the form layout).
  4. Want to change Text colors on the MENU. In the Editor, have been able to make different colors in the Tree Text, but it does not SAVE when I build the project. The text color settings are gone.

I'm just taking a stab at this, but I think you might find your answer to #1 and #3 if you look on the "Pages" page of ASPRunner, then, to the right of the "List" check box on the top of the page, click the "..." button. That brings up the "List page settings" window, which allows you to select/deselect "Use icons for Edit, View, Copy labels" and "Show basic search options".
As for #2, if you choose to view details inline, you can select multiple details from the master list.

Thanks Tim, but I don't know what you mean but #2..."select multiple details from master list"??? Is this something I am not seeing in the TABLES section where MASTER and DETAIL tables have the link line and you can "EDIT"? I didn't see anything there....but maybe I'm waiting for my new contact lenses, lol....
Forget #3....I found the option was selected to hide it on the page in the browser.

Sorry, too brief. in the TABLES section, choose the table link properties (doble-click the line between the tables), then make sure you have "List" checked and choose "inline". Build your project. Now, on the list page of the master table (not in asprunner, but on the web page), you should be able to click the details link (child table) of any of the records in the list and see the details right there. click a second details link to see multiple details at the same time. Does this make sense? And maybe this isn't what you are looking for, but it seemed to me to achieve what you want.

Hmmm, not quite what I'm seeking. I actually want the DETAIL VIEW pages or DETAIL EDIT pages to open in separate browser tab. (Not sure if can put in seperate tab, maybe new browser window...would prefer the tab method)
