Lookup Problem - Does not Return to Caller
« on: May 17, 2012, 06:10:27 PM »
Got an average everyday lookup that calls a browse.  In the browse, I have a select button as one of the fields.  When I click the select button, the browse "refreshes" and returns back to itself.  I have beat my head against the wall for several hours now and I simply do not know why this is happening.

Note:  This web app was converted from NT4 to NT6.  I have addressed most everything as far as converting but this lookup issue is driving me mad.

What could possibly cause a lookup browse to return to itself rather than returning to the calling form?

Thanks!

Don

the short answer is that I don't know - but let's cover some of the obvious bases;

a) is the form a popup? if so - is the lookup a popup?

b) have you set a specific URL on the browse screen, for any of the buttons?

Cheers

No procedures were set as popups.

No URL's were set for the SELECT button in the lookup browse.

Lookup worked when set as popup.  However, I do not want to use popups in this particular app.

Hi Don,

see if you can duplicate the setup, and effect, in an example.

are you using the content-body feature?

cheers

Not using the content-body feature.

I'll try to whip up an example. 

There is something that I'm missing.  I just don't know what.  I have created 100's of lookup fields just like over the years with no issues.  I don't know why this one is being so difficult.

I'm curious if a recreationof the WebServer and WebHandler procedures might be needed since this was converted from NT4 to NT6.
