O$: odd error message revisited

[Andreas Pfeiffer]

Hi Panikos,

If you want to trigger a method within a subform then you need to make it client executed. Also you would need to use 

Do method $cinst.$objs.mysubform.$dosomething()

Note that I do not use Do. Rather I use the command Do method.

That said it will trigger the method within the subform if it is marked as client executed. From there you are free to trigger another server side method with the command "Do method" that executes the server side.

Hope that helps.

Best regards,

Andreas
