Using a variable dummy form, how can you determine if the user
hit the 'Quit' button. Does that need to be an eep or is there a
way to know what button was pushed without using an eep for
each button.


Thom,

Ask and you shall receive!

Follow these simple steps:

01.     Create an EEP, for example: Button.EEP.

        -- Button.EEP
        SET VAR VButton = .%1
        CLOSEWINDOW
        RETURN
02.     Use the following properties for "Quit" button.

        Push Button Object Properties:
        Button Text: Quit
        Button Type: Custom
        EEP: Button.EEP USING 99
03.     In your command file:

        SET VAR vButton INTEGER = NULL

        EDIT USING FormName ...

        IF vButton = 99 THEN
           GOTO Done
        ELSE
        -- Do what you have to do
        ENDIF
        LABEL Done
        CLEAR VAR varnames
        RETURN

Have Fun!

Very Best R:egards,
