Jim,
Sorry. Was offline for awhile.
The evaluation of enableing the button MUST be external to the button.
So the whole eep would exist in maybe the form timer or some other key
press.
You might even be able to try a crazy form variable like so
(IFNULL(.vdatecheck,('PROPERTY Comp_BOLDetail ENABLED
'''FALSE''''),('PROPERTY Comp_BOLDetail ENABLED '''TRUE'''')))
Double check all the quotes and parantheses in this because it wasn't
RStyled.

Would this EEP be in the bit button as
GETPROPERTY comp_boldate textvalue vdatecheck
IF vdatecheck IS NULL THEN
PROPERTY Comp_BOLDetail ENABLED 'FALSE'
ELSE
PROPERTY Comp_BOLDetail ENABLED 'TRUE'
ENDIF
I did the above and it still allowed me into the form BOLDetail.

Jim,
Don't enable the button until conditions are met.
IF vdatecheck IS NULL THEN
PROPERTY mybolbutton ENABLED 'FALSE'
ELSE
PROPERTY mybolbutton ENABLED 'TRUE'
ENDIF

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.
