Single window vs multiple window applications

In Superbase 1.xx and 2.xx, you could only have one form or window on the screen at a time. In Superbase 3.xx, they added support for the Windows MDI (Multiple Document Interface) so that you could have multiple windows and forms on the screen at the same time.

If you are upgrading an application, you need to decide if adding multiple document (multiwindow) support is worth the extra effort, because you must account for the possibility that many forms could be onscreen at the same time.

If you wanted to move an application from Superbase 1.xx to Superbase 3.xx with a minimal of headache, you should add the following line to the top of the start up code for the program:

Superbase.MDIMode = 0

This command tells Superbase to operate in the single window mode, which is most like the way it was for version 1 and version 2.
