Hi All,

I'm probably (once again) missing something obvious but in 6.5 multi table form 
buttons were active in only one table.  This was really annoying for buttons 
like "Exit" but worked really nice for buttons like "Add Record" or "Move to 
Region X".

As far as I can tell, in 7.x all buttons are active in all tables so buttons 
like "Add Record" become problematic.  I have been unable to figure out any 
acceptable eep commands or normal command sequence strategies so that the 
record is added to the correct table regardless of the active table when the 
button is activated.

The only solution I have found is to have a button eep that closes the form, 
adds a row to the correct table, then opens the form.  Rows added with out 
closing the form a are not displayed.  Unfortunately, closing and re-opening 
the form completely looses focus on the currently selected records for tables 
2, 3, etc.  which is not acceptable in most situations.

Some of you must have run into the same problem --- any other suggestions? 

I'm almost dreading the answers -- I'm afraid they are going to be obvious ...

Classic "approach avoidance"

Thanks,
Michael
