>I have a menu which repeats the command buttons on a form. One of them is Save. The command on the menu is _screen.activeform.cmdsave.click(). The click event runs code very similar to that found in the Wizbtns class of the screen wizard. When we hit Wizbtns.UpdateRows() basically a TableUpdate() is performed. If I choose Save from the menu, not only is the TableUpdate not performed correctly, but the changes are reverted. If I step through the code, the update IS performed correctly.

Calling the click method from a menu does not allow the button whose click method you are calling get the focus. Could that be what is causing the problem? Could you have some other code in place on the button that is run when it receives focus?
