Just rolled out an application in version 15.4 (Windows) and I'm seeing
what I'll refer to as the "shy server syndrome".
V15.3 was installed but I installed 15.4 to get past an issue resolved in
15.3. When I launch the source code, the compiled application, or the built

In just about all UI processes Dialog(TableOrProjectForm;plain window) is the
only way a window gets opened. I suppose this has simulated calling DIALOG(*)
from a [I forget what kind of] window. These can call their own DIALOG(*)
windows too. Wanting to use CALL WORKER would change that

Maybe using the * parameter to DIALOG will allow your design to function?

Kirk,
wOpen lets a user modify a record in a window in a new process. This DB would
have only a few records that could be picked from a floating list.
When the floating list process wants to change the record:

Peter,
How about adding a hidden button to trap for Enter key strokes?
I run all my active objects into a single project method (the 'form
controller' I like to talk about). So I'd have that button call the form
controller and handle the save code the same way the normal save event
would process.
Keith,
First off I'm not clear what the intent of wOpen is - are we modifying the
record or simply displaying it?
If it's only being displayed you don't need CALL WORKER to change it - any
process that can load it can change it. The issue becomes notifying the
display process to refresh itself -
Does FILTER EVENT work in this context?
Or REJECT(field) as someone has already suggested.

Are you using the REJECT([table]field) command? Using the field parameter?

I want to create a selection of records, based on some internal criterea,
