I wrote several screens that are checked for accurrancy and then prepared if everything is Ok. When the prepared flag is 'Y' I don't let the users into many fields...I lock them out. And give an error message in a interal procedure common to all edit procedures on the screen. Works great. However a there are a couple of fields with selectboxes. When the error message apprears I get stuck in the selectbox and have to kill your whole session. You'd think there would be more smooth way of getting out. I ended up coding the prepared flag check prior to an accept verb for the field in a designer for it's screen id. I'm a little annoyed that I had to code it that way and that I was forced to logout. Is there a way not to get stuck in selectboxes when an error is given. PowerHouse should be smart enough to realize this predicament and return you to the action field you'd think. Just a quick gripe, got to get back to work now.
