It depends on what you mean by "can". I CAN stop people from running queries, but then they'd fire and the next guy would let them do all sorts of stuff they shouldn't. Is it Friday yet? Dwayne

I was hoping that somebody had some magical way around the problem. I can hardly control what queries the users are allowed to run, so I guess abandon the project. But it was fun while it lasted!

Let's say a user opens a query of "Open" Parent entries. Then the user opens a Child subfile entry, and makes a change that changes data in the Parent entry, and the Parent is no longer "Open", it is "Completed." The Child entry sends an event that the Parent picks up and does "PERFORM-ACTION-TABLE-REFRESH 1020." This refreshes the table that is displaying the parent entry, and the entry no longer belongs in the table. If it is the only entry in the display, all the data disappears, the display turns grey, and a message says "No data to display." (That scared me. I thot I had deleted the entry. I don't know what happens if there is more than one entry. My guess is that the one you are editing will disappear and be replaced by the next in line.) Is there any way of refreshing the data on the entry being displayed, without removing it from the table displaying it if it no longer qualifies?

On receipt of the Event, the Active Link does "PERFORM-ACTION-TABLE-REFRESH 1020," and the new values display in the parent form even tho it is not the active window. THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!

We open the parent record, then click on a table row to open a child entry. When we update the child, it pushes a new value to the parent entry, and we would to see that new value automatically displayed. So, we have the child send an Event, which the parent picks up via an Active Link, which does an F5 keystroke to refresh the display. The trouble is, that even tho the parent is sending the F5, the child is the active window, so its display gets refreshed, not the parent's. I tried having the parent form "Set Focus" to one of its fields, hoping that that would activate the window, but it didn't. Any suggestions?
