Dialogbox called from a dialogbox?

Can anyone give me some guidance on the possibility of calling a dialog box from within another dialogbox? The second dialogbox is appearing correctly, but when I close the second one (clicking either OK or Cancel), both dialog boxes close. I need the close of the second dialogbox to return me to the first dialog box.

Does anyone have a way of working this out? Much appreciate any suggestions.

All I know is: it works fine for me.

I have a database being used in Notes 6.5.4 which has at least one case where one dialogbox is called from another dialogbox, and I’ve never seen the problem where closing one also closes the other.

A couple of thoughts…

– I’ve only done this using LotusScript. If you’re using the formula function @DialogBox, try converting to LotusScript and see if that makes any difference (I doubt it would, but might be worth a try).

– I’ve used this database (with its current design) only on the 6.5.4 client; never 6.5.5 or 6.5.6. Try either downgrading to 6.5.4 or upgrading to 6.5.6 to see if that makes a difference.

Scott,

Thanks for your comments. I am already using script (I was considering trying the second box in formula to see if it made any difference), and for this particular setting, only 6.5.5 will be available to the users.

I’ll keep trying - knowing that it works for you gives me incentive to keep at it. thanks again for your help.
