Hi Angus, " if the qualification does not find any match" -->Where are you checking this part? in "Run If"?
If I understand your question correctly, then this 'digits' != "" is not equal to "Employee not found". If if I input a number which does not exist in database digits field is still not empty and hence 'digits' != "" will not fail, in which case "If" action is executed and "If No Requests Match: Do Not Show Any Message and suppress empty list." happens. In other words, the only time I see your "Else" action getting executed is when there is no data entered in digits field (as per Run If that you have provided here). Correct me if I am wrong in understanding your question.

Run if 'digits' != "" and execute on button (on my form). 2. If action tab, action=Open Window, window type=Modify, Display Type=Detail Only, Form name=employees Qualification 'employeeid' = $digits$ If No Requests Match: Do Not Show Any Message and suppress empty list. The If Action part works fine. In the Else Action Tab I have: Current Action=Open window Window Type=Submit Form name=employees Field mapping employeeid mapped to $digits$ My problem is that the Else Action never gets called. So, if the qualification in the If Action finds a match then this executes ok and I see the found employee ok. But if the qualification does not find any match then the Else Action is not executed. What am I doing wrong?
