Jim, I still may be missing the point but move your code to form 2. That's the one he wants in the background.
So the on-clik eep in form 2 would call form 3 MDI. Does that make sense?

I start in form 1 (main menu) using a bit button to bring up form 2 (on key press form). This is the code bringing up the 2nd form. EDIT USING kprvarorder The varlistview in form 2 is used to show many orders to choose from. The code in the varlistview then needs to go back to the bit button of form 1 so that code can bring up form 3. This is the code within the varlistview EEP. IF vControl IS NULL OR (SLEN(CTXT(.vControl))) = 0 THEN RETURN ELSE SET VAR vRows = 1 SET VAR vFormMode = 'EDIT' PROPERTY Btn_Close VISIBLE 'FALSE' PROPERTY Btn_Close VISIBLE 'TRUE' -- CLEAR VAR IV%,RBTI_%,vRows,vKeyWord,vSearchString,vWhereClause, + -- vQuotes,vPause2Message,vRows,vMany,vFormMode,vSearchWhat -- CLOSEWINDOW ENDIF RETURN Then the code in form 1 bit button should bring up form 3 with EDIT USING kayparkeditorder MDI Could it be the focus is never returning to the form 1 bit button? I have tried the suggestions given but form 2 stays up but will not let me go to form 3.

It does not wait for any action inside the called form.

EDIT USING kayparkeditorder AS MDI I still have to escape from the Onkeypress form (not associated with any table) to see the new form. This is the code when I double click on the varlisview form. I commented the clear var and closewindow code for testing. IF vControl IS NULL OR (SLEN(CTXT(.vControl))) = 0 THEN RETURN ELSE SET VAR vRows = 1 SET VAR vFormMode = 'EDIT' PROPERTY Btn_Close VISIBLE 'FALSE' PROPERTY Btn_Close VISIBLE 'TRUE' -- CLEAR VAR IV%,RBTI_%,vRows,vKeyWord,vSearchString,vWhereClause, + -- vQuotes,vPause2Message,vRows,vMany,vFormMode,vSearchWhat -- CLOSEWINDOW ENDIF RETURN -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] [mailto:[email protected] [mailto:[email protected]]] On Behalf Of Albert Berry Sent: Thursday, December 27, 2012 11:46 AM To: RBASE-L Mailing List Subject: [RBASE-L] - Re: form stays Call the form MDI.
