Re: Close dialog window without saving
Sounds like you are doing a Commit before you close the dialog.

Re: Close dialog window without saving
You do not 'Commit Changes' before closing. A 'Commit Changes' action before closing a dialog, populates the values from the Dialog to the Parent..

Re: Close dialog window without saving
I don't have a commit changes action before the close window of that AL. There is a commit changes in one of my other active links that runs on a selection of an item from that Form B.

Re: Close dialog window without saving
Thats all it needs.. It is the order in which it is fired. As long as it is fired before the 'Close Window' action, it will commit those changes to the Parent window.

Re: Close dialog window without saving
If I understand this correctly, you want to handle the scenario where the user needs to cancel (or close) out of the dialog window, even though they may have already selected a menu item on Form B? From what it sounds like to me, the commit to your parent form would have already occurred since you have a Commit Changes in your AL that fires on Menu Selection on Form B. What I would suggest is: 1. Remove the Commit Changes action from your AL that fires on Menu Selection on Form B. 2. Add the Commit Changes action (before the Close Window action) to the AL that fires on your [OK] button (I assume that one exist). 3. On your [Cancel] or [Close] button, just have the Close Window action. This way, the selected values from Form B should only get written to the parent form if the [OK] button is clicked on Form B.

Re: Close dialog window without saving
or if that's too much of a pain, pass the source field's original value to the dialog window (to a hidden field). If your user cancels, have it restore the original value before closing the window. Then the commit will commit back the original value.
