Hi Ankur
Use the Close Window Mappings on the active link that opens form B as a dialog to map the data from a field on B to field A2. You will need to add a Commit Changes action to the active link that closes the dialog before the Close Window action. You may also need to add a hidden field to hold the value "Help" on form B so it can be mapped back to A2.

Here's the case: There are two forms, A and B. A has two fields, A1 and A2. B has fields and two Buttons. There's an AL "validate" on Form A which throws an error message if A2 is NULL on form modify. Now an event on field A1 launches form B in Dialog mode. User enters the info in Dialog B and presses save button. On action of button click, Dialog B's data is pushed and commit is invoked. Then an AL fires on Form B, does a Push field with text "Help" in A2. This text in A2 gets to the database but doesn't get displayed on the field. This causes AL "validate" to throw an error as it finds NULL in the field A2. When I refresh Form A after the error, the value "Help" gets displayed in field A2. How can I get over this situation, where the value is being pushed in the form and not getting displayed in the field, which qualifies AL "validate" to throw an error where the value is actually present in the database. I cannot change or disable the AL "validate" in the Form A. It has to be there. When I disable this AL, I can see the value in A2 as soon as the Dialog B is closed. How can I get the value in the A2 so that it passes AL "validate" Regards Ankur ARS 7.0.1 patch 5 OS: Solaris 9 DB: Oracle 9i __Platinum Sponsor: www.rmsportal.com ARSlist: "Where the Answers Are" html___ _______________________________________________________________________________ UNSUBSCRIBE or access ARSlist Archives at www.arslist.org Platinum Sponsor: www.rmsportal.com ARSlist: "Where the Answers Are"
