Would like to be able to create a message alert to the AP clerk whenever a vendor is selected or entered into AP20.1 in which the vendor user field 1 value on AP10.1 is equal to "Y". In help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Eddie - this is simply an OnBlur for the text field for Vendor number. When the OnBlur occurs you would run a DME in order to look up the User Field on the APVENMAST table and if the value equals 1 you can do an alert to the user with the information you want to give to them.
Do you know how to do a DME?

David-we are somewhat familar with DMEs, just enough to be dangerous. I have the following script, but obviously it's incomplete or entriely wrong. What am I missing?
function TEXT_OnBlur(_f24)
{
var sVen = lawForm.getFormValue ("text7")
//alert (sVen)
s = "http://" + window.location.host + "/servlet/Router/Data/erp?"
s += "PROD=LPRD901&FILE=APVENMAST&INDEX=VENSET1"
s += "&KEY=" APVENMAST.VENDOR-GROUP + sVen
s += "&FIELD=APVENMAST.VEN-USER-NAME-01"
s += "&OUT=CSV&DELIM=~&NOHEADER
var objhttp = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.XMLHTTP")
objhttp.Open("GET", s, false)
objhttp.Send("UserInfo")
sReturn = objhttp.responseTEXT
alert (sReturn)
}

Here's a DME call to get vendor class
**/
var vProd = portalWnd.oUserProfile.getAttribute("productline");
var vDmeString ="?PROD=" + vProd + "&FILE=APVENMAST&FIELD=VEN-CLASS;&INDEX=VENSET1&KEY=1=" + lawForm.getFormValue("text2") + "&XCOLS=TRUE&XKEYS=TRUE&XRELS=TRUE&XCOUNT=TRUE&XIDA=TRUE&OUT=XML"
var vDMEInfo = portalWnd.httpRequest(portalWnd.DMEPath + vDmeString)
var vObjDMEXML = new top.DataStorage(vDMEInfo);
var vRecords = vObjDMEXML.document.getElementsByTagName("RECORD");
var numRec=vRecords.length;
var vCols = vRecords[0].getElementsByTagName("COL");
var vClass = vCols[0].firstChild.data;
**/

I don't think you can set your onblur function to run by specific object (field). I think you will have to get the id of the textbox and perform the rest of the function based upon whether or not you're in the field you want to be.
function TEXT_OnBlur(id, row)
{
if (id != "text7") return true
-- key the rest of your function
}

Thanks David. I've never used the OnBlur function before and was getting some strange results with my code. Yours alleviated the strange results but how do I display the vendor class?

Well, you don't want to display the vendor class - that was just a sample - but you would alert the variable used to capture the data you want.
alert ("The vendor class value is " + vClass)

Understand the Vendor class was just an example and I added an alert like yours but nothing was displayed on the form. I must be missing something?

What value do you get when you alert numRec?

No message. I added our vendor group "ULNA" to the dme, could that have something to do with it? Below is the JAVA script I'm using.
function TEXT_OnBlur(id, row)
{
if (id !="text7")
return true
var vProd = portalWnd.oUserProfile.getAttribute("productline");
var vDmeString ="?PROD=" + vProd + "&FILE=APVENMAST&FIELD=VEN-CLASS;&INDEX=VENSET1&KEY=1=" + ULNA + lawForm.getFormValue("text7") + "&XCOLS=TRUE&XKEYS=TRUE&XRELS=TRUE&XCOUNT=TRUE&XIDA=TRUE&OUT=XML"
var vDMEInfo = portalWnd.httpRequest(portalWnd.DMEPath + vDmeString)
var vObjDMEXML = new top.DataStorage(vDMEInfo);
var vRecords = vObjDMEXML.document.getElementsByTagName("RECORD");
var numRec=vRecords.length;
var vCols = vRecords[0].getElementsByTagName("COL");
var vClass = vCols[0].firstChild.data;
alert(numRec)
}

Check all of the index key values - like company. My sample hard coded 1 so if yours is different...

David, dummy me... of course it's so obvious now that you pointed it out. Working perfectly now. Thanks for your help.
