i have changed the insert new ticket to be non modal as need it to minimise and allow possibly another ticket to be created too.  so instead of obj.showModal it is obj.Show in the insert ticket vbscriptwhen press the Cancel button on

The insert new ticket screen it seems to run closequery and close.-which the old 6.2 didn't do

Tried to set validation as true and instead of running the whole query put if mrCancel then closequery=true and exit function, but this crashed the system brings up access violations.

(also tried a application.basicfunctions.closeCurrentview true not do anything, not close)

How can i get the cancel button to work in the non modal view?

Thanks guys

I'd say you can't......leave it alone. If you need to insert another ticket then finish inserting the first one and insert another....

need it to minimise if not allow another to be created so needs to be non-modal..

how do i can i cancel the non modal view as it running closequery and if set it to true, the system has access violations?

sounds like your form validate is still firing, might need to add code to skip these. Also look at the calling loop to see if thats looping you back in. I think there is a look there to block exiting improperly too.

application.basicfunctions.closecurrentview true should be working, unless something is blocking it in the validation code, and that could get you a crash ...

Also, you can't call the same form twice anyway, so unless you write some sort of data pushtostack, popfromstack function into the form, your plan isn't going to work. You could create a second ticket table and manage drafts separately, with a button that pushes the record into a ticket on save too. Probably way more trouble than its worth ...

in validate put

 if frmNewTicket.ModalResult = mrCancel then

 validation=true

exit function

end if

but it still goes to closequery, have done similar thing in that so closequery=true..

but when press cancel button still fails.

tried application.basicfunctions.closecurrentview true in the cmdCancel method infront of and behind frmNewTicket.Parent.Close... no joy! still doesn't close screen and runs the closequery method then errors.
