I tried using two active links, one to check on the existance
of a pending Hours Worked record, and another to open the
record. But the first one ran and the second didn't.
I ended up setting a flag to note the existance of the pending
Hours Worked record. Then on Window Close, if the flag is set
I opened Hours Worked as a dialog. That stopped Remedy or the
control panel from closing down. Then I had the Hours Worked
dialog window gather the info from the pending record and do a
Push Fields to update it.
Sort of round-about but it seems to work.

Greetings everyone,
Is there a way to have workflow halt the closing of the
windows tool?
When our workers start in the morning they open a display-only
control panel. This opens an “Hours Worked” form, into which
they record their begin time. When they leave in the evening
they close the control panel. This re-opens the same “Hours
Worked” entry so they can enter their quitting time. BUT if
instead of closing the control panel, they just close the user
tool, the Hours Worked entry never gets filled out and we
don’t know when they quit.
The workflow log shows the Hours Worked entry opening, but it
doesn’t stay open long enough to even be seen. I tried having
the Hours Worked form run a “SET-CHANGE-FLAG 1” process,
hoping that I would get a message saying “Your changes have
not been saved. . . “ but I didn’t. That is an ugly solution
anyway.
What I would like is a process that stops the wut from
closing, and allows the Hours Worked entry to display. Is
this possible?
