Visibility and "Retrieve Spec Open"

I have a command button named 'browse' and put the program 'visibility(browse, 1)' in my formname::Retreive spec open and gave it a default value of Visible:False in the Command Panel. However it does not "become invisible" when a form is retrieved.

Also, I have an image box named "thumbnail" and used the program ' visibility(thumbnail, 0) also in FornName::Retrive spec open and set the default value to visible:True. It is hidden in Retrive mode (good), but stays hidden when a record is found.

Seems like something doesn't work right, or the Retrieve spec programming is not 'expiring' when the mode changes to 'update'.

Any thoughts?
Steve

The Visibility setting is retained until the Form is closed. You need to set Visibility again in OnFormEntry to have a different setting than appears on the Retrieve Spec.

Retrieve Spec Open event is very helpful!

This will really cut down on trashed records that users create when they 'update' a record because they think they are in Search mode. The visual confirmation of a Search button on the screen ONLY in Retrieve mode (Hidden in Update mode) is just dandy!

Thanks,
Steve
