Ok....if everything else bombs out...how bout this....create a 'fired' flag. Have an AL that fires every 3 seconds (on interval) if 'fired' is null, have it do the AL actions you need, and set 'fired' to 'yes' or something....wouldn't happen before the window finishes loading but would happen within 3 seconds...and wouldn't fire again...it's kludgy and ugly...but it would work.

LJ, log trace is not helping. There are no active links clearing the fields. I have found absolutely no way to have active links (Win Open, Win Loaded) read values passed to a window, if the window was **opened by a macro**!! All fields appear blank to these active links, although, when the window fully opens, all the values are right there for me to see! It appears that when a macro opens a window, there is something funky (I say bug) which makes the field values load *after* the Window Loaded event has completed. :( I tried opening the same window with code (open win action) and passed values; these values are correctly seen by the active links on that form. I tried playing with different window modes no luck. I need to trigger code before the window fully opens, based on value received by the window from the macro. Can't be done??? --- On Thu, 4/22/10, LJ LongWing <[email protected]> wrote: > From: LJ LongWing <[email protected]> > Subject: Re: On "Window Loaded" active link doesn't see field values??? > To: [email protected] > Date: Thursday, April 22, 2010, 1:51 PM > Rabi, > I recommend having AL Logging turned on and see if the > field is being set > some time after the AL you are looking at....happens to me > all the time...I > have AL1 set to fire if value = X, but AL2 fires at a later > execution order > setting the field... > > -----Original Message----- > From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) > [mailto:[email protected]] > On Behalf Of Rabi Tripathi > Sent: Thursday, April 22, 2010 11:19 AM > To: [email protected] > Subject: On "Window Loaded" active link doesn't see field > values??? > > I have an active link firing on "Window Loaded".
