On push of the button ..write Form.Runmodal(XX);
"xx " is the no. (ID) of the form u want 2 open.

What are you all speaking about? :roll:
There are may be some possibilites to do this!
And first of all - use reference type!
If you have one table linked to another, you do not need to write any line of code

like this

***
MenuItemNameDisplay menuItemName;
MenuFunction menuFunction;
FormRun configForm;
Args args;
;

//Get the name of the menu item in the Action table that we will use
//to launch the form.
menuItemName = aifEndpointActionPolicy.displayMenuItemName();

//Create a new menu function based on the menu item name
menuFunction = new MenuFunction(menuItemName, MenuItemType::Display);

//create a populate the arguments that will be passed to the form
args = new Args();
args.caller(this);
args.record(aifEndpointActionPolicy);

//Create the form from the menu function
configForm = menuFunction.create(args);
if(configForm)
//Run the form
configForm.run();
else
//Menu item does not exist
throw error(strfmt("@SYS55489", menuItemName));

the easier (but not the only) way:

If you want to call directly to the form:

Args            args;
FormRun         formRun;
;

args = new Args();
args.name(formStr(form_name));

formRun = ClassFactory.formRunClass(args);
formRun.init();
formRun.run();
formRun.wait();

If you want (and you can) call to a MenuItem (recommended), do that way:

MenuFunction    mf;
;

mf = new MenuFunction(menuItemDisplayStr(menu_item_name), MenuItemType::Display); // Or the Type that matches
mf.run();

Hope this helps.
