Hi All,

I'm new to AX and need your help in understanding basics.

I have 3 forms Form A,Form B,Form C. There is a menu item button on 'form A' which opens 'Form B' and likewise 'Form B' opens 'Form C'.

Now,there is a OK button on Form C , I want to update the value of Form A if I click the OK button on Form C.

please help me with basic idea that how it can be achieved.

element.args().caller() returns you object that called the form, so element.args().caller() for Form C will return you form B, then you can grab caller of the caller and get Form A. On form A you have to have a method or something that can update your field, or you will have to grab cursor of datasource from Form A and update it.

Once you have a handle to formRun A, just call method dataSource of it.

For example

FormDataSource myFormADataSource = formRunA.dataSource("MyDataSourceName"); MyTable myTable = formRunA.dataSource("MyDataSourceName").cursor(); ttsbegin; myTable.selectForUpdate(true); myTable.Field1 = "foo"; myTable.update(); ttscommit; myFormADataSource.refresh(); myFormADataSource.research(true);
