Not Allowing Exit from Subscreen

[Landers, Dianne]

Does anyone know of a way to force the user to enter values in a field before they are allowed to go back to the invoking screen?  I have a quick screen where we allow the user to copy partial information from one record to another, and we want to force them to enter the missing information before they can exit.  I have an error that I raise in the EXIT procedure, but it still goes back to the invoking screen.

The manual says that if an error occurs during the execution of the EXIT procedure, QUICK backs up to the last ACCEPT or PROMPT verb.  It doesn't seem to be behaving that way to me.  Any ideas out there?
