I would like to write a code to Save a record and Close the form...Shift-F10.  Can anyone tell me how to do this.  Thanks

How would you exit WITHOUT saving? I would like a button that ABORTS the record and returns them to a selectree item. not just the tree itself.

Can I use the @selecttreeitem command without saving the record?

Using @exit only returns the user to the tree, but I am trying to avoid usering having to navigate through the tree. Its too complicated for them.

Thanks,
Steve

Steve, I believe you have made a custom menu in add mode of a form. Is that right?  I have not done it but it seems, it is do-able using @SelectreeItem( ). If you look in the edit menu, there is an item to "undo Current Form" (Shift F7), then in Navigation Menu there is command "Close Form without saving".    Usually the problem is the flag (warning window) and this will get rid of the flag. Having a button on the form with proper @selecttreeitem( ) code, you should be able close your form without saving that is equivalent to abort.  Now form being closed, you will not be able to open the custom menu form throgh the code on button...but I believe your custom menu form must be open and that is how you opened up the other form you were working on that you closed using command button and just you have to click on the tab to have focus of the open custom menu form.

All this is theoretical and you might encounter many problems along the way.

Command Buttons are undbound anyway, and I believe all of them must be command buttons in the custom menu. The last @selectTreeItem ( ) command before closing the menu must be to close the custom menu form. If you remove the last part of the code, the custom menu should remain open and it could be reached by clicking on one of the tabs.  I believe it should serve the purpose.

Steve,
I tried out the above and it works as suggested. The menu does not close. The menu is on Add Data Menu tab.

I was under the impression that @exit actually does a save and exit.?!?!

I'll check it out this weekend.

Thanks again for your help, Bharat_Naik

It's been a long time since I worked on that particular app, but I think Bharat taught me that the first form, which is the menu form, does not close when the user selects his first @selectreeitem. Rather, a second form opens ( you can see two tabs at the bottom of the screen).

When the user chooses to close the 2nd form using an @exit program, it simply closes the 2nd form and the first form (the menu form) then becomes visible again.

Let us know how this works out for you.

Thanks for the input.  I have this working for the most part but have one more thing that is an issue.  I have my Custom Menu form open along with a second form that I am adding data to.  When I close out of the 2nd form instead of going back to the Custom Menu form it goes back to the Application Menu.  Is there a way to not even show the Application Menu all-to-gether.

Thanks,
