Opening Forms and Reports

By default, the openForm method will open a form in data view, and openReport will open a report such that it is printed. These are most likely what is usually wanted, however Rekall does have a mechanism to open forms and reports differently to this, for example to open a report in data view.

This is accomplished by passing a value for a parameter __showAs (thats two underscore characters). The list of possible values is given below, note that not all cases apply to both forms and reports.

ShowAsData Form or report is opened in data view. This is the default for forms.
ShowAsDesign Form or report is opened in design view
ShowAsReport Opens a report for printing. This is the default for reports.

By the way, these also work for openTextForm and openTextReport, though its doubtful that it is much use in these cases.
