David, Try moving the second Edit Using pendingjobs ... into the first form, dispatchjobs as an On After Start EEP.
Good luck, Paul Buckley -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of DAVID FOWLER Sent: December 18, 2017 12:14 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [RBASE-L] - Suppressing main R:Base screen Razzak, Thank you for the quick answer. What you suggest is what I have done. The only difference is that the second for I open is also MDI. If I open the second without it being MDI, I can't move back and forth between the two forms, I can only access the second form that is opened. Here's the code from the app that opens the forms. CONNECT custmr PROPERTY APPLICATION TITLE 'Dispatch' EDIT USING dispatchedjobs WHERE status='d' SORTED BY jobdate tin operator + MDI AS dispatchwindow CAPTION 'DISPATCHED JOBS' EDIT USING pendingjobs WHERE status='p' SORTED BY jobdate street + MDI AS pendingwindow CAPTION 'PENDING JOBS' RETURN Thanks for any other ideas.
