Hi Guys,

    Using a menu item is usually better - security is set up for menu items, not forms, and menu items may have additional properties (e.g. an enum parameter value).

    You could do something like this:

    MenuFunction menuFunction = new MenuFunction(menuItemDisplayStr(YourMenuItem), MenuItemType::Display);
if (hasMenuItemSecurityAccess(menuFunction))
{
	menuFunction.run(new Args())
}
