Difference between RUN and RUNMODAL

dblaisdell

Can someone please explain the difference between the RUN and RUNMODAL commands and under what circumstances would you use one or the other.

RUN: The form is opened and you can still go back to what you were doing on the previous form (if RUN is called to open a form from a form)

RUNMODAL: The form will be opened and you cannot return to the previous form until the MODAL form is closed.

Also good to know that Navision will balk if you try to open a MODAL form when you have a record lock in place. You need to clear all your locked tables (use COMMIT) to open a MODAL form in the middle of processing transactions.
