Thanks. I have done some VB so this was not totally new to me. Doing it in AMS just looked different. I figured it out before you sent the email, I am going to compare it to what you sent to me. Once again, Thanks

Thanks Corey.

Although I found the help file a little hard to follow, the file you e-mailed showed me where I went wrong.

Thanks again,

Re: Creating a close button

You need to enclose the Application.exit action inside a CONDITIONAL > IF statement which tests the variable %Result% to see whether it contains the value "yes" or the value "no". So that way your application.exit action will only apply itself if the %result% variable contains the correct value, i.e. "yes".

Check out the help files for help on creating and using an IF statement, real easy stuff, you can learn it in a few minutes... Think of IF statements as gateways which only allow items you specify to pass through.

Also I just emailed you a .zip file with a working example you can check out, I sent it to your registration email address.

I have created a close button on the top of my application and would like a window to appear that will give users the choice to either close the application or cancel the close request.

I have placed the following actions on the button:

%Result% = Dialog.MessageBox ("Close", "Do you want to close CPA into ...", Yes|No, Question)

Application.Exit

Unfortunately if you click "No" the application exits anyway.

What do I need to add to the actions to get "no" to just close the dialog box?

Thanks,
