Subject function not working From Bob McKinney <bmckinney@gmail.com> Date Wed, 12 Dec 2018 11:02:47 -0500 Newsgroups dbase.getting-started Hi All: Using db2.8 with wnd/10.  I have a sub form with a date field and a normal entry field that needs to have data entered before proceeding to the rest of the form.  Following that is a container with 3 pb/btn's and 3 numeric entry fields that I wish to disable to enforce the line above. In the form "onOpen" code, I have the following; **********function code***********   function BlackOut   // Disables all fields, except action         // Re-Enable (true) needed fields in selected/field function       form.ctCk.efckAmt.enabled     = false  //  ct = container,  ef = entry field       form.ctCk.efDepAmt.enabled   = false           form.ctCk.efVisa.enabled        = false      return ************end function**********    function form_onOpen       // This code will be used to see if       // the forn is being opened properly at all (in the       // first place -- it's supposed to be called       // from CheckRegister.wfm) and if so, if we are       // supposed to be in append or beginEdit. mode...     form.makeVars() // Create all the memVars     form.rowset := form.perchecksDatamodule1.pchecks1.rowset       if type( "form.mode" ) == "C"  // character          if form.mode == "Append"             form.rowset.beginAppend()                       // store the VendNo...             form.rowset.fields["VendNo"].value := form.VendNo             // set the default value for Action Date (today's date)             form.rowset.fields["Action Date"].value := date()             form.ctCk.EfActionDate.setFocus()                       form.rowset.refreshControls()          else             // find the correct row....             form.rowset.canNavigate := {|| true }             form.rowset.indexName   := "Action"  //check nmbr             form.rowset.findKey( form.action )             form.rowset.canNavigate := {|| false}             form.rowset.beginEdit()          endif       else          form.rowset.first()  // just so we're at the top          msgbox( "You shouldn't run this form except from CheckRegister.wfm",;                   "Don't do that!", 16)       endif       form.blackOut()  // on opening, draws error msg  [ Error:  Data type mismatch.  Expecting:  Object ]    ***********  end of code   ********** I have used this code "many years" ago successfully, I think, unless the memory has gone south (grin).   Any help on this greatly appreciated.....Bob
