	Universal Search is very powerful and useful it in some applications. I usually like to close the command tree. So, placing the UniversalSearch command button that is visible only in Search mode (@Mode ( ) = 2 ), � I have placed the following command on Form Open event to achieve that. Code If @Mode ( ) = 2 then { Visibility (UniversalSearch, 1) } Else { Visibility (UniversalSearch, 0) } ForceRedraw ( ) The problem is when I use F7 key to go to Search mode from Search and Update mode, that is from @Mode ( ) =1 to @Mode ( ) = 2,� The UniversalSearch commandButton does not show up. What do I have to change in the code to work in order to see UniversalSearch command button only in Search mode and it should also work with F7?

	You may be over-thinking it using @Mode. All you need to do is turn on visibility in On Retrieve Spec Open, and turn it off in On Form Entry. So... Add this to the On Retrieve Spec Open event: Visibility(UniversalSearch, 1) And add this to the On Form Entry event: Visibility(UniversalSearch, 0)

	Thanks Carl. It is working as I want it to. Isn't @Mode () 2 is the same as Search or Retrieve Spec ?� If the command is conditional on Form Open in @Mode ( ) 2, is the same as On Retrieve Spec Open event?� I got lost with that logic !!� May be you are right, I got too much tied up with @mode. Thanks.

That event does not execute when you open the form in Search mode, so only the "Else" portion of your code ever got a chance to execute. Quote: If the command is conditional on Form Open in @Mode ( ) 2, is the same as On Retrieve Spec Open event? No. Only code in the On Retrieve Spec Open event will execute when the form opens in Search mode.

	I should point out that when I say only the On Retrieve Spec Open event will execute, I mean compared to the On Form Entry event. There are other events that will execute in Search mode, like On Draw, On Reveal, and On Hide.
