Create a Frametype Frame Pop-up
The first step in creating a frame is naming the frame through the Create a frametype Frame pop-up. The frametype is USER, REPORT, or QBF. These four pop-up frames are identical except for the frametype in the pop-up's title. The following figure shows an example of the Create a frametype Frame pop-up, where USER is the frametype:
The Create a Frame pop-up has four fields. This first field is the only one you can fill in:

Specifies a name field in which you enter the name of the frame. The name must follow standard object naming conventions.
The other three fields contain read-only defaults:
Owner
Specifies the name of the user who created the frame
Type
Specifies the frame type selected in the Create a Frame or Procedure pop-up
Date
Specifies the creation date of the frame
