[color=Black][/color]Does "Goto" work to take you to a command button?  I am using the following code:

var Z as int


if not @update then
{
z = @asynchshell("C:\Program Files\Sesame\Data\Sounds\Cannot Use Here.wav")

STOP

}


else


if status = "deceased"
{
z = @asynchshell("C:\Program Files\Sesame\Data\Sounds\Deceased.wav")

STOP

}


else


if record type = "companion"
and @isblank(Mail Name)
then
{
z = @asynchshell("C:\Program Files\Sesame\Data\Sounds\Companion.wav")
Goto Alt Record

STOP

}
else

The Alt Record has on entry programming on a Command Button that would take me to another specific record.

When on a record that should execute the "Goto", nothing happens.  The focus remains on the current record.

This is the area of the above text, where the Goto should be executed:

if record type = "companion"
and @isblank(Mail Name)
then
{
z = @asynchshell("C:\Program Files\Sesame\Data\Sounds\Companion.wav")
Goto Alt Record 

Bob -

My understanding of ThrowFocus (as compared to Goto) is that Throw Focus allows the remainder of the programming (in the element you are in) to be processed FIRST (which I do NOT want).  Nevertheless, I DID try the ThrowFocus and it makes no difference.  The same form remains in place.  (With regard to the use of "ThrowFocus" I thought that perhaps the "STOP" command (since the programming in the element is executed first) to halt the action and negate the ThrowFocus command.

When I "played" with it by removing the STOP, an envelope was printed from the record I was in ... which I do NOT want.

Yes, I DO want the programming in the Command Button to be executed right away.

As for the PrintString command, I do recall a conversation about needing either a font descriptor (such as B or I) ... or a space ... before the font and I will probably change it for "consistency" regarding accuracy of programming.  HOWEVER, that has never been a problem.  The envelope is (when appropriate) being printed exactly as I want it.

I hate to "mix threads" but am wondering if you saw my last post under printing multiple envelopes.  If so, and you can help, I would appreciate your responding to that post (keeping this one focused on my current problem).  I simply cannot get one envelope to print ... nor do I know how to execute Mass Update programming and no-one has responded in several days.

Thanks!
