Jeff,

Thanks very much, I will try that. Going home now though, it's 4.30pm over here and that's it for me today!

You could test this -

&IF DEFINED(CUR-COMP) = 0 &THEN
DEFINE NEW SHARED VAR CUR-COMP AS CHARACTER FORMAT "x(8)" NO-UNDO
INITIAL "YourComp".
&ELSE
DEFINE SHARED VAR CUR-COMP AS CHARACTER FORMAT "x(8)" NO-UNDO.
&ENDIF

MESSAGE CUR-COMP.

You could also define an INPUT in a RUN command to state from where you
are starting.

Hi all,

I'm really stuck on a little problem with a 4GL procedure I've written. I need to disable certain buttons when I run it depending on whether or not it was called from a Vantage session (as opposed to simply being connected to the Vantage database).

How on earth can I check for that condition? I know there will be specific shared variables such as CUR-COMP defined if it was called from Vantage, but I can't find a way to test for that condition without causing error messages whent he procedure is run 'self-standing'.

Any ideas? I would be very grateful!!

Thanks in hope,
