James,
Ahh. That makes a little better sense now. Shouldn't be too hard for you to modify your form to do what you want. I utilize MDI forms in a few places but one thing you need to understand. MDI forms need to be designed to run stand alone. If you have code calling an MDI form, the code continues to run For example, EDIT USING myformname RECALC VARIABLES CLOSEWINDOW the code stops at myformname until that form is closed. If you use EDIT USING myformname AS MDI (i think that is right) RECALC VARIABLES CLOSEWINDOW will open up myformname and immediately closedown the first calling form. Hope that helps.

The varlistview must have to close so the remainder of the EEP to take affect. In other words, the second form is called from the Main EEP not from the first form. It looks like I will have to change something. Would using MDI forms be better.

Form1 contains the listview. Form2 contains the editable data. So in the variable listview in Form1 you have the Double clik eep with EDIT USING Form2 CLOSEWINDOW RETURN What that means is when you are done with Form2 it closes and Form1 should still be there. I hope that explains it. I don't see in your double-click eep where you are calling the second form.

I do have a closewindow statement that closes the form. When I take that out, then my next form will not come up. Code in the main Bit Button EEP to bring up the Var list view form: EDIT USING KPRVarR_Quotes (this is the var list view with radio group) On b4 start EEP for above form: CLEAR VAR vKeyWord,vQuoteID,vWhereClause,vSearchWhat,vSearchString SET VAR vKeyWord TEXT = NULL SET VAR vQuoteID TEXT = NULL SET VAR vSearchwhat TEXT = NULL SET VAR vSearchString TEXT = NULL SET VAR vWhereClause TEXT = NULL SET VAR vListItemCount TEXT = NULL SET VAR vQuotes = (CVAL('QUOTES')) SET VAR vMany = (CVAL('MANY')) RECALC VARIABLES RETURN On after start EEP for above form: PROPERTY RBASE_FORM DONTSHOWSAVEDIALOG 'TRUE' PROPERTY RBASE_FORM DONTSHOWDELETEDIALOG 'TRUE' PROPERTY Comp_RadioG SET_FOCUS 'TRUE' RETURN On Doubleclick EEP for above: IF vQuoteID IS NULL OR (SLEN(CTXT(.vQuoteID))) = 0 THEN RETURN ELSE SET VAR vRows = 1 SET VAR vFormMode = 'EDIT' PROPERTY Btn_Close VISIBLE 'TRUE' ENDIF RETURN If I keep the closewindow line in the Dbl click EEP, the next form comes up. If I use just the code above, the Varlist view stays and the other form does not come up. The code in the main Bit Button EEP that should run when I choose the QuotID should create temp tables for the next form. Since everything stops, no code runs until I exit out of the varlistview form. Is there some code I need to add?

You must have something set up differently. Currently my VarListView form remains until I close the VarList form.

Once they double click to bring up the quote, they want this to happen. Instead of the varlistview form closing, they want it to stay open (in the background). They want to be able to exit out of the second form and go back to the varlistview for so they can see the same choices. Ex. The varlistview form shows 10 quotes to a customer. They choose one to look at the complete detail. When done with that form, they exit the second form and it shows the varlistview form with the same choices. Now they can choose another to view. There would be a close button on the varlistview form for when they are done. James Belisle Making Information Systems People Friendly Since 1990
