Re: Trigger Problem

Ahhh, okay.  

Question though, is it "legal" to return to an RPG program that uses a display
file without setting on LR?  What happens to the display screen when the program
exits?  Obviously the display file is not being closed.  I'm not sure what would
happen when you tried to return to the program.

Perhaps something there is causing the locking issues?
