Yo, Actually I think you could do one more thing and fully emulate what you want...
Do what Frank said...

( I am a bit skeptical about the PERFORM-ACTION-SET-PREFERENCE 23203 1 part, but I doubt it will hurt this functionally. It just might confuse users when their preferences change unexpectedly.) And... Add a display only field that you use to signal workflow on Window Open( or is it Window loaded for after the values are set in the fields after an Open Window action?) Add an active link that also fires on Window Open (or was it Window Loaded?) that sees this special value in the display only field that causes two things to happen. 1) Clear the display only field 2) Perform the search ( VIA the special function PERFORM-ACTION-APPLY) I think that will leave the user in a modify window (if matching records are found) or it will give the normal no match error msg. And I think that method should leave the "Search information" in the client as the "last search the user did" too.

Thank you. I will have to ask my users if they agree with this solution since I'm opening my form in a "Modify" Window type. Since I'm opening my regular form from a button on another form, I should use a "push field" in order to populate the field 1005 (Search Bar). Since this field is "special", what would you think I should put in the "Push Field If" criterias? Do you think "1-1" could do the work? >From: Frank Caruso <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Reply-To: [email protected] >To: [email protected] >Subject: Re: Problem when converting macro to "open window" active link >action - last chance >Date: Thu, 1 Feb 2007 15:39:35 -0500 > >Add field 1005 (Search Bar) to the form your are searching. >Create an active link on button click that does the following: > > - Run Process: PERFORM-ACTION-SET-PREFERENCE 23203 1 > - Open Window: Search, Form Name, set the Search Bar field to the > query > >The run process ensures the Advanced Tool bar is visible. > > > > >On 2/1/07, Shellman, David <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >> >>Because it's an Active Link with Window Open functionality instead of a >>Macro.
