Possible to display a listing of IDs on the screen's left side, choose one ID and have it inserted into the active form's ID field?
If not, any other way to prefill IDs on blank forms?
Thank you.

Typically we use a menu to do this. If we know the households in advance we'll create a dynamic value set to select them. Then using the PFF object and set the key property. As long as the key property is set the household application's ID items will be pre-filled when the PFF is executed.

I recommend taking a look at the CAPI census example in your documents folder. First, run it and just get a feel for how it works. Then take a look at the logic. In particular, take a look at the user-defined function LaunchHouseholdProgram and where it is called from.

Using v7.1, don't have an Examples folder. Will v6.2 Examples work as a stand-in? Thanks.

Have you tried selecting Help -> Examples Folder in the CSPro Designer? We moved the examples to the Documents folder a few years ago (because the CSPro installation folder was read-only, which made it hard to work with the examples).

If you don't actually have it on your machine, we can send you a zip file of the contents of the examples.

A zip file of the examples would be great. Please send. How do I find guidance for creating a menu for an existing program? Thanks. -MJ

Unfortunately a zip file of the entire examples folder is too large to attach here. Installing 7.7 would be the easiest way. You can then find the examples in this folder: %homePath%\Documents\CSPro\Examples 7.7

The CSPro helps and examples are actually public repositories on GitHub, so you can download them there. The CSPro 7.7.1 examples are here:
