Hey gang,

Man, do I feel silly asking this question, but I just can't seem to get this to work. This is actually an FPDOS 2.0 question, but would apply most likely to FPW 2.6 as well:

I have a push button and I want to toggle the prompt that it displays. The initial @GET is this:
pFilter    = "Pick Dept"
pNewDept   = "New Department"

pShowIt    = '"@*HN ' + ALLTRIM(pFilter) + '"'
m.FilterIt = ALLTRIM(pFilter)

@ 0,24 get m.FilterIt ;
   picture &pShowIt ;
   size 1,14,1 ;
   valid DeptValid()
OK, elsewhere on the screen is a push button that executes code to change the prompt:
pShowIt    = '"@*HN ' + ALLTRIM(pNewDept) + '"'
m.FilterIt = ALLTRIM(pNewDept)

@ 0,20 CLEAR TO 0,40
@ 0,20 get m.FilterIt ;
   picture &pShowIt ;
   size 1,18,1 ;
   valid DeptValid()

show get m.FilterIt
There's another button that's supposed to change it back to the original as well.

So, what happens? Well, when the @Get for the new prompt executes, you can see the new prompt behind the original prompt (only cuz it's larger), but I can't seem to get rid of the original prompt, the @CLEAR doesn't seem to be doing it.

What am I missing???
TIA,
Bonnie
