I have actually created a form within fox that is accessible through a hotkey. the user presses alt-7 in sbt, and the executable that contains my form fires. then, there are 3 option buttons on the form. the 3 option buttons represent 3 different forms in report writer that the user has the option to view. an option is selected, and then a command button is clicked. when the command button is clicked, the line of code that i pasted on the previous message fires. can i do it this way?? please don't tell me no!! :)
