To process a Designer data form, Vermont Views needs to first resolve all external references made during form processing. This includes references to the underlying data variables, functions that you have installed to be called during processing, and any memory files containing choice lists or help for fields on a form.
In order to do this, variables first need to be declared for all of these items, and then the references must be resolved. The Designer and Vermont Views do the bulk of this work for you. You are required to select certain menu items in the Designer and call functions in your program to accomplish these tasks.
