I have a form I developed last year that has a Custom Form Action that I called
from the Before Start EEP and I just found it does not fire up, I moved it to
the After Start EEP and it fires from there just fine. I went back to 9.5 to
verify and the behavior is the same in that version…I could have sworn it fired
from the Before Start on 9.5; apparently Custom Form Actions do not fire from
the Before Start EEP…oh well, it must be by design. You can always request
that it be allowed to fire from the Before Start EEP.
You should be able to display a dialog if you place it in the After Start EEP
and either continue to the form or exist the form depending on the response.
Can you post the code you are using? Maybe someone can chime in with a
solution. The other option is to place the dialog in the code outside the form
and just before you open the form and then either open the form or skip it.

Subject: [RBASE-L] - Form question
I have upgraded to Rbase X enterprise, from 95 32 bit, so I am doing some
major overhaul of my database(which has been needed for a while). I have been
using a separate dialog box for the employee password, if it fails the form
doesn't open. What I am trying to do is put the dialog box in the form
on-after-start EEP. Getting into custom form actions, so I have an action for
password dialog. If I put in before start it does not fire, but in the on
after it fires, but will close the form if password is invalid. Is there a way
to do this?
