I have some custom validation when the user clicks the "Begin Processing" button on a batch process screen. If the validation fails then I would like the batch process to stop processing the standard code. Can someone please help me on that?

Re: stopping the execution of batch process

The only way I know of to do this is some variation of the following

- Shift the real Begin Processing button off the visible screen (ie set Left to -1000) and set TabStop to false

- Add your own begin processing button.

- When your button is pressed, do your validation.

- If yiou want to proceed, programatically click the real button.

THe last step can be the tricky one - I have found that sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't.

Two possible techniques are:-

sivmyapp.controls("The_Button_Name").value = true

and

Call ApplSetFocus("The_Button_Name"")

Call SendKeys(" ",true)
