Re: Open Ticket from AL
You know, it is kinda hokey, but there is a way of doing that. Just delete your cache files when you close the form before you reopen it. I know your looking for a simple switch, or setting, but it does work. You can just create a batch to delete the files and run that.

Re: Open Ticket from AL-Resolved.... I think
That's right. I figured out from reading the manual that I could use $OPERATION = SET since the AL is also modifying the ticket just before I want it to open the form in the new view.

Re: Open Ticket from AL
The button fire an AL that has 4 actions. Actions 1 and 2 do set fields on the form, action 3 does a Run Process of PERFORM-ACTION-APPLY to save the request and action 4 is the open window.

Re: Open Ticket from AL
Strange... Since you are modifying an existing record you should have the Entry ID (Request ID) of the record and can use that as a lookup. Since you are working on an AL you have closed all occurrances of the form (so the User Tool will re-load it's cache) What Window Type are you Opening the form in (Modify or Display)? -Original Message- From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Mayfield, Andy L.

Sent: Wednesday, April 09, 2008 6:05 PM To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG Subject: Open Ticket from AL How can I have a window open in different view on a button press? I have created an AL that does an open window on the button press, but I am having problems with the qualification for the window to be opened. I want it to open the window and pull up the current transaction, but it will not be the last ID. I thought it might be the CURRENTWIND keyword, but I cant get it to work. Thanks, Andy L.
