Situation:

You have menu MENU01 which has option #1 calling FORM01 in "data entry mode". You want option #2 menu MENU01 to call FORM01 in query-only mode ( ie. CALL_QUERY).

Solution:

Have option #2 run a FORM02, which in-turn does a CALL_QUERY to FORM01 and then does an EXIT_FORM. This can be accomplished in a KEY-STARTUP trigger or possibly a PRE-FORM. Try it an see. Received on Wed Dec 30 1992 - 05:29:05 CET
