I'm trying to use F keys to access certain aspects of my program, like Save
and Print. These are being used in a form. In the form's Activate method I
have code that reads

ON KEY LABEL F2 DO NewRecord.

When the user presses the F2 key, a new record should be added to the file
with a few default values stuck in. The contents of this new records then
needs to display on the screen. It does the appending fine, but I can't get
it to refresh the screen with the new values.

>From what I've found out about the ON KEY LABEL command, it doesn't allow
you to access form objects. For instance I can't tell it after it's finished
appending the record to do a command like THISFORM.Refresh(). It gives an
error when I do that.

So my question is, how do I refresh the screen after running an ON KEY LABEL
command?

Thanks for your help.

Doug
