We have a winner!!! I used the
SETFOCUS alias1
syntax suggested below rather than the RBASE_FORM SET_FOCUS and that worked
great to return focus back to my original form. I need to run the calling form
as an MDI to do this.
Thank you very much Motel!!

No quotes on 'AllBLs', both forms have to be open MDI with alias
Open the first form
EDIT USING formname1 where... MDI AS alias1
>From formname1 open the second form.
EDIT USING formname2 where... MDI AS alias2
In formname2
SETFOCUS alias1
Will return the focus to formname1
This is the codes I use to refresh a variable lookup list box in a diffrent form
SETFOCUS menuvente
PROPERTY transup REFRESHLIST "TRUE"
SETFOCUS grille
Not sure if you can have the same name for the form and the alias.

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
