Hi Sergey:

Thank you for your response. I am lost here now.

The users types in a few characters of the name or telephone number they want to locate and then the user clicks the select button. The the Find form shows up - it has a grid with the following code in the GotFocus event of the Find form.

thisform.refresh
do case
	case .not. isblank(mpatlastname)
		seek alltrim(mpatlastname) order tag last_name of patient.cdx
		if not found() and eof()
			do form pat_add    &&do form notfindapppatient
			thisform.release()
		endif
	case mservpatphone <> 0
		seek (mservpatphone) order tag phone of patient.cdx
		if not found() and eof()
			do form pat_add    &&do form notfindapppatient
			thisform.release()
		endif
	case mhlth_card <> 0
		seek (mhlth_card) order tag health_num of patient.cdx
		if not found() and eof()
			do form pat_add    &&do form notfindapppatient
			thisform.release()
		endif
ENDCASE

Once found the user, clicks on the name and clicks Return on the Find form which then goes back to the calling form and populates the fields in the original form with data from the name searched for.

Thanks again for your suggestions.
