Karen,

I've used a couple of MDI forms.
I think the issue is this
PROPERTY 'AllBLs|RBASE_FORM' SET_FOCUS 'TRUE'
change it to this
PROPERTY AllBLs|RBASE_FORM SET_FOCUS 'TRUE'

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!

Karen
