The issue of implicit calls etc can be a tough one to debug. My code in this situation would be         FUNCTION RB_BILLTOOTHER_onRMD                 set procedure to billtotest.wfm                 form.billtotest = new billtotestForm() -                form.billtotest.my_pat_no = cpat_no                 form.billtotest.mdi = false                 form.billtotest.readmodal()         return         FUNCTION BILLTOTEST_onOPEN                                  if type('form.my_pat_no') #'U'                         your code to go to desired record or append                 endif         return This MAY help in avoiding implicit movement as the form is already open and only your code will cause movement. Give this a try. Regards Akshat
