(1) Customer maintenance program: once I enter the customer code, IF the code exist, I want the program to retrive the information from the customer master file, NAME, ADDRESS, etc ..., and ready for amendment instead of POPUP a selection box for customer selection. THE problem I am facing now was when I enter a customer code and press enter, it will prompt up a selection box for customer selection, no matter the customer exist or not.
Thanks and appreciate for Helps.
I am not clear. Are you a user or a programmer? Did you write the code or did someone else?
What do you mean by, "eady for amendment." Are you adding customer information to something else, like an order?

Is in customer master maintenance. When I enter customer code, if the code already exist in the customer master, I want the program jump to amendment of NAME, ADDRESS, TEL, etc, instead of POPUP a customer selection box. I want to know the command to bypass the POPUP. Thanks and appreciate for your kind attention.
>I want to know the command to bypass the POPUP.
I still don't know if you are a programmer or a user?
If you are a programmer, then we need to see your source code.
If you are user, then what you want is not possible without the source code. Do you have the source code?

yes, i am programmer, just pick up FWH, quit confuse with DEFINE and REDEFINE, here is the source codes:-

Thanks and appreciate for your kind attention and help.
asking for help and willing to help others
Dear David,
You must show SelectCode() function. It is the main point you mention.
Regards,
Dutch
Here is the SelectCode() function:-
...
function SelectCode( oGetCodex, cCodex )
select 1
set softseek on
seek cCodex
set softseek off
ArCust->( DbChoice( "Select a customer", 1 ) )
oGetCodex:VarPut( AllTrim( ArCust->Code ) )
oGetCodex:Refresh() // repaints the GET
return nil
function DbChoice( cTitle, cSelect )
local oDlg, oBrw
DEFINE DIALOG oDlg RESOURCE "DbChoice" TITLE cTitle
if cSelect = 1
REDEFINE LISTBOX oBrw ;
FIELDS ArCust->Code, ArCust->Name ;
HEADERS "Code", "Name" ;
ID 100 OF oDlg
endif
ACTIVATE DIALOG oDlg CENTERED
return nil
...
Thanks and appreciate for your kind attention and help.

(1) would like to find out WHY empty customer code still valid to save?
(2) for DbChoice, to select a customer, HOW to activate an enter key instead of click on OK button for selection?

Thanks and appreciate for your kind attention and help, DUTCH.
i got 20+ programming years (start from programmer -> analyst programmer -> systems analyst -> project manager -> software developer). program logic and data flow are totally not a problem to me, but why i still can't manage to solve this simple customer master maintenance program in gui environment! i am so sorry, but i really need helping hand from all of you. THANKS AND APPRECIATE TO ALL OF YOU.
David,
I have written some articles about programming in FW which may help. They are available on my website here:
http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepage ... rogram.htm
Regards,

i did follow what DUTCH show me,
(1) BUT when the 1st screen come out, ask for customer code, i just press enter without keying anything, the program end without saving the empty record.
(2) IF i enter any character, like A or Z, and press enter, it will simply save the record and end the program.
(3) the customer code i set to 8 characters, if i entered all the 8 characters and the focus go to next SEARCH button, it will now popup customer selection
where and what missing?
