How to discard a form before it becomes visible.

[castor2003]

I have a set of fours forms that has a 'Parent-Child' relationship. If the data created by the Great Grand parent form is not inputted yet, I want to signal to the user trying to open a decendant form that it is not possible until the Great Grand Parent form is run the data is set.

So I use the Init and Load methods to do that. Where the condition for opening the current form is unfavourable, I issue a 'THISFORM.RELEASE'. but the form continues to open and get displayed. I tried 'RETURN', same result. How do I achieve my objective.

I had to shift it to the LOAD method since I had a lot of loading stuff doing which I did not want carried out in an unfavorable condition...

Thanks again.

You may wish to use a Pageframe for this process. Then, you can simply disable the tab until it the proper data entry has taken place.
