Re: Display data not getting to program

I have data that I'm trying to update when a user presses an fkey. The
changed data is not being sent to the program unless the Enter key is
pressed first. The display record is a control for a subfile and I'm
overlaying a footer with an Fkey legend. When I take out the first write
statement (footer) the data sends to the program with no problem. I thought
I found a solution to this problem a few years ago, but I can't remember
what I did.

I'm not sure I've fully understood the sequence of your writes, and maybe
you have already tried the following, anyway here it is: write the footer
with the legend, THEN write the control (with the OVERLAY keyword active),
THEN read the control. The CFxx keys should be defined in the control.

HTH :)
