This is true, unless you use the MDI option to launch the second form.

I had thought that the button EEP would finish running its code independent of Form2 being displayed, but apparently the button EEP code waits until Form2 is closed and then resumes at the line after where Form2 is activated.

In one of the slave tables, a person can add records one at a time through a scrolling region. Sometimes the user needs to add a large number of records in bulk (all the records are identical except for one field, which differs sequentially). Rather than having to add each record individually, I have a bit button by the scrolling region that will allow the user to bring up another form, "Form2", where the person can enter a batch of records all at once. (I use the INSERT command to insert the batch of records into the slave table.) When the person closes Form2, I'd like the scrolling region in Form1 to automatically be refreshed without the user having to do anything (like click a Refresh button) so that the user can see all the records that he/she just entered.. Does anyone know how to do this? Diane DeMers Sugarloaf Software _____ Make your life easier with all your friends, email, and favorite sites in one place.
