Windows Form Names

Table B-1 set forth below contains a list of valid Windows form names along with their width and length dimensions. You can also create a new form with a custom width and length on Windows NT and 2000 systems by going to: Start; Settings; Printers; File, Server Properties, Create a New Form. Then, you can reference that form through the –form_id keyword.

The entry in the Form Control field in the Forms file in System Administration should be in the following format, using the exact text as specified:
