Karen Yes thats what I saying You can use the user variable listbox to display the file and a combobox tol gather the response   Gunnar Ekblad   -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: den 22 juni 2004 23:45 To: RBG7-L Mailing List Subject: [RBG7-L] - Re: RBase 7.5 & 8   Gunnar: I haven't played around with the "load from file" thing yet.  The main purpose of screen writes (in my case) is to show data on the screen (a select statement or a bunch of variables) and overlay the screen with a dialog command to ask for some kind of response.  They need the data on the screen in front of them while they have the dialog box.   That's why I don't just write the display to a text file and use Launch to display it; you don't get the text file along with a dialog box.  Are you saying that the "screen write" would appear inside one component on the form, while I might have another control to gather their response? Karen As for the writes  I do the writes to a diskfile. The diskfile I use with the Property <Componentid> LOAD_FROM_FILE to a user defined variable listbox.  that’s is how I converted/or plan to convert some quick and dirtys selects and writes in my DOS  apps to 7.1 Se also posting from MikeB on this subject I works great for its purpose and is as simple as selects and writes in DOS.
