Bruce: I do something like what you want, but with one difference.
I design "search" forms all the time where there's a bunch of variable edits.
Users type in values and it displays a grid with results of the search.
I always put a "new search" button on the form that clears all those variables
so the user can type in a new search. All those variable edit fields are now
blank. This is the exact code from the button:
SET VAR vSBLNo INT = NULL, vSPick INT = NULL, vBLWhere TEXT = 'LIMIT = 0', +
vSTranDate1 DATE = NULL, vSTranDate2 DATE = NULL, vSAcctNo INT = NULL, +
vCAcctNo INT = NULL
RECALC VAR
I've never had this NOT work.
The difference: don't ask me why, but I have never used a "variable form".
Never. I always bind the form to a table, usually a "FormDummy" table that has
a couple useless rows.

Buddy. On closer inspection, after I sent my message, I TRACED the variable
subset as its values were NULLed just before the SETFOCUS.
The RECALC VAR has no effect on this:
What is in fact happening is that the DISPLAY of those variable values is not
being cleared from their Variable Edit controls during the rotation.
But when I Tab away from the first control in the Tab Order [a Variable Radio
Group - one of the retained values ], the VE controls for the NULLed variables
go blank, as intended.
So the real question is: How does one blank the display of now-NULLed previous
values within their associated controls?
Much appreciated!

Bruce Have you tried RECALC VAR after settling them to null and before the
setfocus

Fairly new to Forms.
A Variable Form provides values to an On Click EEP in a Bit Button. The EEP
succeeds at its tasks, then returns FOCUS to the first control in the Form's
Tab Order, as intended.
One subset of variable values survive the rotation, as intended. A second
subset of variable values must be NULLed during the rotation, so that their
associated controls are blank when the Form reappears.
I've failed to clear this latter group of values, variably using CLEAR VAR and
SET VAR = NULL commands:
(a) ahead of the SETFOCUS at the tail end of the Bit Button's On Click EEP;
(b) in the Bit Button's On Exit EEP;
(c) in the On After Start EEP of the form itself.
It's gottta be something basic.
What is the established procedure for clearing a subset of variable values when
rotating directly back into a form from a prior instance?
