Agreed Joe, however if my understanding is correct, it does take more cycles to parse a run process than to use the "Commit Changes" action directly...marginal perhaps, but still, if the goal is to produce the most efficient code (as long as it is readable by everyone...;), then I try to save Run Process "Special Commands" for when they are needed, like when you want to perform a search in a search mode form triggered by workflow. That's all I meant by "no Perform-Action-Apply needed" Cheers, Richard

Commit Change from a non-dialog form does the equivalent of a Perform-Action-Apply in a create or a modify mode.

I've since addressed this by adding another AL and returning the value from the dialog into a tmp field. The new AL runs after the one with the open window action and checks for a non-null value and then does a set fields to move the data to the correct DB field, followed by a commit changes to save the record. Not quite what everyone recommend, but the responses were enough to shake my memory as to how I'd done it in the past. Works fine....no perform-action-apply required. Still doesn't explain why it didn't work using events, which I've used a thousand times before, but I have it working which is the more important factor.
