I'm carrying this over from the other post, cause I don't seem to be able to get it to work. Maybe I'm just misunderstanding :)

For my support module, I usually create a text field, a browser object pointing to my support site, and a browser object for the forum. I usually put -->> DOUBLE CLICK HERE FOR SUPPORT <<-- in the text field, save it, and then hide it so it shows in the grid, but not in the screen that opens when double clicked. So when somebody double clicks on it, the module opens and the browser goes to the support site on one tab and the forum on the other.

So I opened the object in the model and clicked the Creatable Item. If I am understanding correct, no one should be able to create another record. However, I can create records from within running the software and from the installed software.

Am I misunderstanding the purpose of Creatable Item?

If you click on the New button arrow, it will show a list of Objects. It will add it to that list or not. ;) I was thinking of taking it out but haven't.

I am working on a way that you can show a detail view instead of the grids. That way there will only be one record.

Mine is still in the list. Not that it matters, cause anytime they add a new one, all they will get is a browser with the help desk in it :)
