loc:alert not working in button validate

I have a memory form that has a button tied to a progress control. I used example web72 to set this up and it works fine. But - I cannot get loc:alert to display anything in the send-to-server validate embed for the button. I can put a Message('stop here') in the embed and it shows so I know the code is being called but setting loc:alert = 'stop here' does not do anything.
I need to do some validation when the button is clicked and stop the process from taking place if validation fails but I cannot prevent the process from running - presumably because alert does not work in the validate embed.
I have verified this problem by modifying example web72 and it has the same result as my app - no validation for the button that calls the process and is tied to the progress control.

Hi Chuck,
If you are running your report via a url on your button then any ss code won't execute before the report runs. Otherwise you could try p_web.popup('prob with report') to provide info to the user of why the report did not work but it won't stop your process - you need to use a bit of logic in your code if to proceed or not.
Cheers.

Hi Chuck,
Try this code after your loc:alert
e.g loc:alert = ('Override the rate to make the Loss of Rent < 25%!')
p_web.SetAlert(loc:alert, net:Alert + Net:Message)
It works for me and it is the same as a message
Regards
Johan

cool, please port the modified example & dict, and some simple directions on what to do - where it does the unexpected and so on, and I'll take a look.
cheers
