I didnt see Mike's reply but.....
  In the called form change the KEY-EXIT trigger   to see if system.call_form ? is not null if it is then

        do an exit(no_rollback,no_commit);

  In the KEY-Commit under the same conditions as above do    a post; else do
   a commit;

So the commit in the calling form will COMMIT both at the same time. Received on Tue Jun 14 1994 - 20:08:28 CEST
