	Is it possible program a command button which, when pressed in ADD mode, will shut down that mode and start up the form in SEARCH mode? Actually, better yet, would be to program the database so that when ADD mode is opened it loiters for a few seconds, then closes ADD mode, then open SEARCH. Doable?

	Ignore that second message (removed); I figured it out. Had to put my "Hide" before playing with the colors.

You could try something like the following, but if you have a Startup form set, you will probably end up seeing the Startup form, and need to click on the tab at the bottom of the Sesame window to see the newly opened form in search mode. Put this in the "Form :: OnFormEntry" event Code Var vSuccess as Int If @Add { @Msgbox("NOTICE: You cannot open this form in Add mode.", "", "This form will now open in Search/Update mode.") @Exit vSuccess = @SelectTreeItem(@Application + "!Forms!Search/Update!MyDatabaseName!MyFormName") }

I'm just having trouble getting someone to look at the tabs at the bottom of the form...I point down at them and they look up btw, you're giving me some great ideas. Thanks in advance

	Thanks Carl, I'll give it a try. I wasn't sure if any code would run after @Exit was called. Charlie: why not put the tabs at the top?
