Hi Andrew,

It still would require code changes in validation functions, which I'm trying to avoid. But at least it's an idea to think of.

Thanks.

>>Thanks for your reply, but you didn't read this message carefully :) The program doesn't know about in which mode it would be run at all. It's not "her" problem. It's the problem of the whole application. The idea here is not change the code of the program, but change the code of program, which is invoked by this function.

I'd like to return to the form if I'm not in batch mode and don't continue execution of the PropMstrTr. I don't want to place additional logic into PropMstrTr, if, of course, it's not the only way to achieve my goal.
