Saving a form without an associated data source object

When you save the form without an associated data source object, then you only save the formatting options.

About this task

To save a form without an associated data source object:
  1. Create a query object or open an existing query.
  2. Run the query object to obtain query results.
  3. Generate a classic report using either default settings, formatting settings based on the query results, opening a saved form, or creating a new form.
  4. Select Form > Data Source. Clear the Always use this object when opening this document check box.
  5. Save the form. When you open this saved form, it has no known associated data source object. If a set of query results are active, they will be formatted into a classic report, otherwise the form will open for editing.
