Is there a way to read and modify user defined RAPID record components with ScreenMaker, or do I have to convert my application to a full FP version? I am using 5.12. BTW - I think this is a great product. ---

Hello Jim, Thanks for your comments. Currently the user defined RAPID record components are not supported in ScreenMaker. It would be definitely a good option to include it. ---

Are there any news on the matter of writing new records is supported from SM? ---
