Continue = False not working in Querysave

I am doing some field validation in Querysave. I am able to catch the errors with no problem and I flag the user with a Messagebox. The problem is the file then closes even though I have a Continue = False. I finally stripped out everything and copied in the code from a Notes Help example for Querysave changing only the field name to one of mine. Here is the code;

Sub Querysave(Source As Notesuidocument, Continue As Variant)

If ( source.FieldGetText( “MiddleInitial” ) = “” ) Then

Messagebox( "You must enter a Middle Initial." )

Call source.GotoField( "MiddleInitial" )

Continue = False

End If

End Sub

When the code runs and I click save with a blank MiddleInitial field I get the Messagebox then the file closes. Shouldn’t it remain open so the user can fill in the field?

I’ve run into similar problems where pieces of code simply don’t work…completely closing out of Notes, Designer, and/or administrator and logging back in seem to aleviate the problem.

Good Luck

Thanks for the response. I just closed out of Notes, Notes Designer, and Notes Help and went back in. It still doesn’t work. I know what you mean though. I’ve had that happen before myself.

with:@Command([FileSave]);

@Command([FileCloseWindow])

what you should really have is:

@If(@Command([FileSave]); @Command([FileCloseWindow]); “”)

Bill, You were right! I didn’t see your post before I sent in my last one. Thanks a bunch for your help.

A little more information on my problem in case it matters. The database is Type: Domino Directory and is based on the Notes Address Book Template. The document I have open and want to validate upon saving is a Person record.

Tried it on a copy of my public nab with 6.0.2 CF2 and it works fine. Really wierd - maybe some corruption? Have you tried a new form with just that field? Or that form in a new db?

I found it! Stupid me. The Save and Close action code had the following in it;

@PostedCommand([FileSave]);@PostedCommand([FileCloseWindow])

Once Querysave finished, the FileCloseWindow command still executed regardless of the Continue = False. Guess I’m ready for the weekend.

Please post the code that saves the document. Chances are the code problem is there.
