Thanks Dawn and Javier. I have struggled with this one for a few days. Lesson learned: ask for help right away, not when you finally get frazzled!

I think because you haven't 'returned' (in your example, you're running the ENTER USING form and the eep is waiting for the return to close the window.) I usually set some kind of variable flag on the button and my underlying application checks the flag to see if it needs to start over at the ENTER USING statement. SET VAR vcontinue = 'Y' CLOSEWINDOW RETURN In my calling application I would have something like: LABEL starthere SET VAR vcontinue TEXT = NULL EDIT USING FORMNAME IF vcontinue = 'Y' THEN GOTO starthere ENDIF -----Original Message----- From: Claudine Robbins [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, February 09, 2005 1:03 PM To: RBG7-L Mailing List Subject: [RBG7-L] - closewindow problem I have (1) 'save/continue' and (2) 'save/exit' buttons. On both I append my form temporary table data to the permanent tables. I end (1) with closewindow, enter using form and return. It saves the data, opens a new instance of the form but doesn't close the previous form... I end (2) with closewindow return. It works reliably, it saves all the data and returns to the underlying application. What am I missing?
