Hello everybody ! I’m reallly desperate. Heres my problem: I put a command button on a normal form (ID 30,Item), from which a push action calls myCodeunit. How do I get now the content of e.g. “No.” from the form “Item Card” in myCodeunit ? CurrentForm.GETRECORD(Item); only doesn’t work, Item.“No.” will be empty. It only works like this: CurrentForm.RUNMODAL; CurrentForm.GETRECORD(Item); but then every time when I press my new command button, the form “Item card” window opens again. Who can help me ??? Thx in advance… ---

Why don’t you just set the property **TableNo** of myCodeunit to “Item”? Then you could call your codunit from the Item Card simply with this statement: [Ok] := Codeunit.RUN(, Rec); Thus, in your codeunit you have all info you need!? ---

Thanks stryk, but … I think it doesn’t work. I want to get the current “No.” the user selected (is currently seen on screen). Any other idea ? Sascha ---

I think Joergen’s suggestion should work, did you try it? This is a pretty basic Navision feature, unless I am missing something? ---

The current “No.” is just a you type. If MyCodeunit has a function you can use MyCodeunit.Function(“No.”); But if MyCodeunit is to be called with a ItemRec in the Run trigger you can use the RunObject property from the menuitem and use no code, because this is Navision Default. ---

Thank you Mark, now I’ve got it … …with function call (But nevertheless, sometimes Navision is strange: I worked on the problem, some hours, I couldn’t manage it. Navision behaved strange ! Then I closed it and start it again: Everything was o.k…?!) Thanks to all … Sascha ---

No offence - but perhaps it was error 40 [8D]
