Thanks....

by the time I got this.... we had discussed another way of doing the screens...

basically putting the screen activation into a loop like this...

l_ActWin = "QUAL01A"

DO WHILE .T.
DO CASE
CASE l_ActWin = "QUAL01A"
DO Qual01A.spr
CASE l_ActWin = "QUAL01B"
DO Qual01B.spr
CASE l_ActWin = "QUAL01C"
DO Qual01C.spr
CASE l_ActWin = "QUAL01D"
DO Qual01D.spr
CASE l_ActWin = "QUAL01E"
DO Qual01E.spr
CASE l_ActWin = "QUAL01F"
DO Qual01F.spr
OTHERWISE
EXIT
ENDCASE
ENDDO


and then later when selecting a different screen....

*-----------------------------------------------------------------
* Activate Page 1.
*-----------------------------------------------------------------
FUNCTION PageOne
DO relqual01
l_ActWin = "QUAL01A"

RETURN(.T.)

*-----------------------------------------------------------------
* Activate Page 6.
*-----------------------------------------------------------------
FUNCTION PageSix
DO relqual01
l_ActWin = "QUAL01F"
RETURN(.T.)

*-----------------------------------------------------------------
* Activate the next window.
*-----------------------------------------------------------------
FUNCTION PageNext
IF l_ActWin <> 'QUAL01F'
DO relqual01
DO CASE
CASE l_ActWin = "QUAL01A"
l_ActWin = 'QUAL01B'
CASE l_ActWin = "QUAL01B"
l_ActWin = 'QUAL01C'
CASE l_ActWin = "QUAL01C"
l_ActWin = 'QUAL01D'
CASE l_ActWin = "QUAL01D"
l_ActWin = 'QUAL01E'
CASE l_ActWin = "QUAL01E"
l_ActWin = 'QUAL01F'
ENDCASE
ENDIF
RETURN(.T.)


*
PROCEDURE relqual01
RELEASE WINDOW qual01a
RELEASE WINDOW qual01b
RELEASE WINDOW qual01c
RELEASE WINDOW qual01d
RELEASE WINDOW qual01e
RELEASE WINDOW qual01f
RETURN
