MDI is an available operating condition setting that controls whether R:BASE uses a modeless, or non-modal, window which can be left open while work continues elsewhere. MDI can be set ON or OFF, with the default being ON.
SET MDI ON
Users can adjust the setting to control the "MDI" option when running a form, printing a report/label to the screen, running an external form, or opening a table/view with the Database Explorer "Use Dialog to Open Table/View" setting, from the Database Explorer or toolbar. When the dialog window is opened, a check is placed in the "MDI" check box if MDI is ON or displays no check if MDI is OFF.
