Parent form Purch.  Subform POLines.  Command button BOtiks on Subform.  the code in the command button is "Writeln(sRpt)" which prints a static string variable.  

when pressing the command button Save on the parent form Purch, I have  
a line of code ... FormRunProgram("POLines", "BOtiks", PROGRAM_EVENT_LE_ENTER). ... I've also tried it this way, also with no joy  ... FormRunProgram("Purch!POLines", "BOtiks", PROGRAM_EVENT_LE_ENTER)

When the subform button BOtiks is pressed directly, it works fine.  But when the Save button is pressed on the parent form, the above FormRunProgram code doesn't work.

What am I doing wrong?

Hi Bharat,

both forms (parent form Purch and subform POLines) are open.  The Writeln program is in a command button in POLines (subform);  I wish to run this program (Writeln(sRpt) ) when I press the Save command button in the parent form Purch (while the POLines subform is visible and open in the parent form), so that the PO will be saved and then a slate window will open with a list of the backorder tickets for whom incoming product has just been received.

I'm stymied.

When you say that it doesn't work, does that mean it does not run at all or that it does something incorrect?

Hammer,
     FormRunProgram - in the parent Save button routine - doesn't run at all.

Cow,

    It's a push button.  I'll change to another event and try it that way.  Thanks.
