But that's what I tried and that didn't work either.  That's the syntax I 
posted:
             EDIT USING AllBLs where....   MDI AS 'AllBLs'

Then my MDI form has this on its "on after start"

                     PROPERTY 'AllBLs|RBASE_FORM' SET_FOCUS 'TRUE'

and I get the same error message as when the calling form is not mdi.  Sorry if 
my email wasn't clear

I think the form(AllBLs) needs to be mdi as well in order to set focus to it.

Subject: [RBASE-L] - MDI syntax help
 
I'm using syntax that's from the X SAT that I attended, and there's something 
I'm obviously not getting correct.

I bring up a form (non-MDI, form name AllBLs) and clicking into a row brings up 
an MDI form based on that row.  However, after bringing up that MDI form, I 
want to transfer focus immediately back to the "calling form" AllBLs.

I thought this was the syntax per the SAT example.  At first I just refer to 
the calling form's original name, and I put this on the MDI form's on after 
start eep:
        PROPERTY 'AllBLs|RBASE_FORM' SET_FOCUS 'TRUE'

But I get the error message:  Component 'AllBLs|RBASE_FORM' not found in 
current form

I thought maybe I had to bring up the calling form in MDI mode, so I changed it 
to:
        EDIT USING AllBLs where....   MDI AS 'AllBLs'

but I still get the same error after bringing up the MDI form.

What do I have wrong in that syntax to return focus back to the AllBLs form?   
Thanks!
