Fred, in addition to the suggestions you have already received, you can use the property commands to sequence through processes. In several of my applications I have multi-step processes that must be followed in a certain order. Each process has a button with an EEP to execute the process. The button fro step two only appears when step one has completed.. and so on .. until all processes are completed. I have been using this method since the advent of the property command and it has worked well. If you would like to see a live demo, call me and I will link you into my computer and show you the entire process that I use.
John From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Fred C Kopp Sent: Sunday, March 09, 2008 11:02 PM To: RBASE-L Mailing List Subject: [RBASE-L] - Run one Action from another I hope I can ask this properly. I have an application with several menus and corresponding custom actions. The actions must be run in order, one at a time, to accomplish the desired end result, including doing updates and printing reports. In addition to the one-at-a-time method, I'd like to provide the operator with an option to automatically run ALL the "modules" one after the other, in sequence--with a single click. I could equip each module with an IF test to tell it whether to stop or proceed to the next module. It boils down to how can I call or run one module from another without returning to the menu? GOTO...LABEL is out because they are different files. In the old days, I could say RUN APP2 IN APP1.APX, but things are different now. And it won't let me "create" a $COMMAND block--I get "not a run procedure." This will make my boss swing from the chandeliers if I can pull it off. How do I do it? Thanks, Fred Fred C.
