Thank you James, I will certainly give that a try. It came down to my conversion of 6.5++ to 9.5. I did not set the database to single quotes so when I tried to run a new command such as the dialog it did not know what to do with it. Thank you for your assistance.. have a great holiday.

William, After connecting to your database. Activate "Database Explorer" Click on "Utilities" Select "Plugins" and Choose either of the "Dialog" options This brings up a panel to create your dialog command once done click the "COPY to Clipboard" button the paste the results into your program Jim Bentley, American Celiac Society 1-504-737-3293 ________________________________ From: William Korn <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> To: RBASE-L Mailing List <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> Sent: Tuesday, November 25, 2014 12:39 PM Subject: [RBASE-L] - RE: Using Dialog Command (RE: Released: R:BASE 9.5 -R:CornucopiaEdition!) Hi Razzak, I copied and pasted as you asked. I even copied and pasted very basic dialogs out of the help PDF and it does not seem to want to run a dialog. Thank you, Have a great day!! William A.

SET VARIABLE vCont1 TEXT = NULL SET VARIABLE vEndKey TEXT = NULL CLS DIALOG 'Edit Student Pricing' vCont1 = 4 vEndKey 1 + CAPTION 'Please enter student Code' ICON INFO + OPTION MESSAGE_FONT_COLOR 2147483647 + |MESSAGE_BACK_COLOR -16777201 + |MESSAGE_FONT_NAME MS Sans Serif + |MESSAGE_FONT_SIZE 10|TRANSPARENCY 255 + WINDOW_BACK_COLOR -16777201 CLS EDIT USING contracts WHERE RCode = .vCont1 RETURN -- End here Note: 1. Pre-define all variable with correct data types 2. Add a pipe "|" character for all additional OPTION parameters Hope that helps!
