Fred,

Tried it both ways to no avail.

>>I have a form that has a copy of the WIZARD txtbutn class for database control on it. The ADD button, clears the fields, appends a blank record and puts the cursor in the first field.
>>
>>I need to modify the ADD button to control a special record number add and when I started playing with it on my form, it stopped working. Here is what I did in the CLICK property of the ADD button on my form....
>>
>>IF This.AddMode
>> MESSAGEBOX("In AddMode")
>>ENDIF
>>DODEFAULT()
>>
>>
>>This.AddMode is a flag set by the class.
>>
>>When I add the IF loop, the ADD button ceases to operate. I tried commenting out just the MESSAGEBOX line thinking it had something to do with a seperate window and all... that didn't work either.
>>
>>If I comment out the IF, MESSAGEBOX and ENDIF lines (leaving the DODEFAULT), the ADD button functions properly.
>>
>>
>>WHY??????
>>
>>Thanks

>Since it works when you comment out the other lines, try putting a blank line between the ENDIF and the DODEFAULT. Maybe there's something about the ENDIF line it doesn't like. Try retyping that one line is another thing you could try.
