Allan,

I don;t think you need to set another business object to primary when the Publisher add form is created. Each form has its own data environment. All you would need is to have your Add form get the Publisher data via an updatable view from your Publisher table, save the data, close the Add form, and requery the lookup view and the dropdown list. You can set the nRequeryType to 2 (Requery if first time activated since last form activate) to make the bizobj requery after the Add form is closed.

>I have a form based on the cListObjEdit class on one page of a pageframe. The Add button calls a modal form based on the cListObjEditForm. On this form I have a dropdown list that the operator can select a publisher. However if the publisher does not exist in the view (root table), I want to add a button that will call another modal form that will allow the new Publishers information to be captured. More importantly I need to set a different bizobject in the existing data environment to be the primary bizobj, add the new publisher plus address etc, save it and revert to the original form. The view feeding the dropdown will need to be refreshed.

>Can anyone give me some tips on how to do this?
