I would think it has not changed. Sorry I do not use mdi forms. I had some ideas to use them but there is no way to make variables local to the form.

They've bought X but we're maybe 2 or 3 months away from cleaning up things and making the switch. Perhaps this syntax is only available in X?

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.

Dan Goldberg From: karentellef via RBASE-L [mailto:[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]?>] Sent: Friday, February 10, 2017 6:56 AM To: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> 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!
