Gene - just a suggestion - but, you can take it or leave it. When you do the validation - and as part of it - you call another form. In some cases - it may just be easier to pop-up a container on the screen - that exists within the Same Form - as opposed to calling a totally different form.
At least that is what I've started doing a good bit over the past couple of years... -K- -----Original Message----- From: ProfoxTech [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Gene Wirchenko Sent: Monday, April 29, 2013 2:41 PM At 10:25 2013-04-29, Frank Cazabon <[email protected]> wrote: >On 29/04/2013 01:17 PM, Gene Wirchenko wrote: >> But what does that do for the validation on that >> control?

I am thinking of the case where I have a form open and validation is occurring and I need to open another form in it. It might be to set some controls' values, say, some sort of look-up. After that second form finishes, I would want to be back at the first form in that same control with the validation still pending. (It is possible that one of the controls in the first form whose value is changed is the one that had the validation going.)
