I have a primary Bill of Lading form that has a header and detail section.
The header is populated with information from our orderheader and detail section from orderrows table. Upon entry the EEP checks for certain information and if the criteria is met, goes to the detail section before the BOL date is filled in the Header. I do this because I want to make sure this information is not overlooked when shipping partials. Once back in the header, I then have a bit button that is eventually pressed to fill in Bill of lading rows. This is separate from the detail section on the main form and is for package weights etc. What I have tried but failed to do is create code that will not allow me into the bit button form if the BOL date is null. I have a component ID on the BOL date field and tried this on the Bit button. GETPROPERTY comp_boldate textvalue vdatecheck IF vdatecheck IS NULL THEN PAUSE 2 USING 'No Date or BOL info Entered' CAPTION 'NEED DATE' ICON serious BUTTON 'STOP' GOTO done ENDIF LABEL done CLOSEWINDOW PROPERTY comp_boldate SET_FOCUS 'TRUE' RETURN Any suggestions? Jim We have a nice snow storm here in Iowa. Nice to work from the house.
