Prevent Esc or Click Away from Popupchoicelist (Read 375 times)

	Hey all, I have a quick question -- I have a popupchoicelist that can be clicked on, a status can be chosen, and the record is updated. However, if the popupchoicelist comes up, and rather than choosing a status, the staff member hits Esc or clicks away on the form, it damages the existing status. It often truncates a part of the status leaving "In Prog" rather than "In Progress" and so on. I've tried adding programming on element entry, saving the value to a global value, and then putting it back on element exit if the status isn't updated, but that didn't work ... ideas? Thanks! Blair

	Can you olace the value returned from the menu in a variable, rather than an element, so you can check it before putting it in the element?

	Hey sir ... thanks. I already did that. My problem is that I think if someone hits ESC, or clicks away, it's not registering as "on form exit", is it?

Not if they are simply dismissing the popup. If you are using a variable, there should be no affect on the element.
