Contact Form doesn't show data

[yshld]

Hi,

I created a Contact Form with some TextFields and Labels link to a field through Data Path selections in the Contact Table.

Then I popup the form by click a button using

Dim objMainView
    Set objMainView = Application.MainViews.Add("Systemlayer Profile", 0, True)
    Application.MainViews.Add(
    objMainView.BorderStyle = 3
    If objMainView.ShowModal = mrOK Then
    ' Do something here - this is the OK button being pressed
    End If

However, the data doesn't come in the form, all fields are empty.

Just want to ask what I need to do to populate the data on the form? Do I need to set anything?

Any help will be appreciated

Consider not using a main view (unless you need it for a reason). Use

x = Application.BasicFunctions.ShowViewForRecord ("CONTACT","Systemlayer Profile",cid)

Where cid - is the ContactID to display this record for and x is the return value (OK(1), Cancel(0)) (or they might be reversed)

This is a much quicker way of doing this if you just want to display data into a databound form. There are valid reasons for using a MV (such as invoking a script on the MV or setting values etc).
