Create Table form is modal

[This topic is migrated from our old forums. The original author name has been removed]

I've just noticed that the Create Table dialog is a modal form, preventing browsing of other objects whilst creating a new table. This isn't ideal if you want to refer to fields in other tables to determine required field sizes, types, naming conventions, etc. I may be missing something but I can't see a good reason to prevent browsing of existing objects whilst designing a new one.

Re: Create Table form is modal
Vince, TAB can now be used to close the data type list in the 8.0.3 version: "If I type VARCHAR into the Data Type column and then press TAB I'd expect it to jump to the Size column. At present I have to press ENTER before I can TAB to the next column." Regards Roger

Re: Create Table form is modal
Hi, We have discussed making the dialog non-modal and will probably do this, or something else that describes the problem you describe, in a future release along with other usability changes. I have added you vote for it. Best Regards, Hans
