Whether the object was instantiated normally or by a visual designer.

Property of

Form, Report, SubForm

Description

The Form and Report designers create a special instance of the form or report when designing them. Some actions that occur when the form or report is executed also take place when it is designed, such as the activation of queries. However, other things are missing; the Header is not executed and parameters that are usually passed are not present.

The inDesign property is true when the object was created for design instead of execution. Use it to take shortcut actions to allow the design of the object without error.
