Bob, You can achieve what you want by using ALPHABLEND Set the form ALPHABLEND to 0 (invisible). Then if your conditions are met make the form visible in the ON AFTER START eep by ALPHABLEND 255.

I know you can do that in v9 Extreme but you couldn't (and won't be able to) in previous versions.

I desire to test and if certain conditions are met, "close" or not continue opening the form. By closing, I mean preventing the AFTER START EEP from running and preventing the form from displaying, even briefly. However in the BEFORE START EEP, it seems that neither EXIT nor CLOSEWINDOW is a valid function. At least I have tried... If ...... then closewindow return endif and If..... then EXIT return endif Neither one seems to engage and the AFTER START EEP will run regardless and the form displays. I know I can check the data before calling the form.... move the code to the AFTER START EEP etc. etc. but I would like to know if there is a process to stop/close/exit a form in the BEFORE START EEP. Thanks all -Bob
