Going back to the basics. I want to have two forms to view a document. But if document was created using Form A then always display Form A, if document was created using Form B then always display Form B when opening that document (but they must have the same alias and form name as far as the views are concerned). I don’t want to change any of my current application logic, neither do I want to change my view formulas in order to have this Form B (form A already exists). Any help or tips would be appreciated.

    I don’t understand why you want to do this. It sounds to me like it’s going to make your life really difficult in the long run. But, I guess you must have a reason, so here’s what I would do:

    • Copy Form A into Subform A. At the bottom, add a Computed-When-Composed field OriginalForm, and set the value formula to “A”.
    • Copy Form B into Subform B. At the bottom, add a Computed-When-Composed field OriginalForm, and set the value formula to “B”.
    • Delete the original forms.
    • Make a new Form A with a Computed Subform, and set the formula to “Subform ” + OriginalForm.
    • Make a new Form B with a Computed Subform, and set the formula to “Subform ” + OriginalForm.
