I am having a form ..
when the form is loaded it will be in new mode (u have enter datas in that form)..after entering the datas u have to save by pressing f10 or save button...

ENTER _QUERY button or F7
EXECUTE QUERY button or F8

When the form is loaded F7 is working..
When I enter a form and i save it by pressing F10 or SAVE button
After that F7 is not working I have to press the ENTER _QUERY button only...

After saving a Form if I press CLEAR_FORM button and then if I press F7 it is working...

In the KEY_COMMIT I have wriitten

SET_ITEM_PROPERTY('TOOLBAR.SAVE',ENABLED,PROPERTY_OFF);
SET_ITEM_PROPERTY('TOOLBAR.EXECUTE_QUERY',ENABLED,PROPERTY_OFF);
SET_ITEM_PROPERTY('TOOLBAR.SAVE',ENABLED,PROPERTY_ON);

What is the problem

Does your form work if you 'remove' or 'comment out' all the Set_Item_Property commands?

Do you want your triggers to fire in 'enter query mode'? If so, then make sure that the property 'Fire in Enter Query Mode' is set 'on'.

If i remove all the set item properties also F7 not working ...
if tried the below code in commit_form then also f7 is not working..

SET_ITEM_PROPERTY('TOOLBAR.SAVE',ENABLED,PROPERTY_ON);
SET_ITEM_PROPERTY('TOOLBAR.EXECUTE_QUERY',ENABLED,PROPERTY_OFF);
SET_ITEM_PROPERTY('TOOLBAR.ENTER_QUERY',ENABLED,PROPERTY_ON);

f7 is not working but the enter_query button is enabled and by
pressing that button i am able to go into the enter_query mode...

when the form is loaded F7 and F8 are working...and also
when i clear the form f7 and f8 is working...In the clear form trigger i have not written any set item properties

Do you have message_level set higher than zero?

What does the help (ctrl-k) say F7 and F8 should be doing?

What code is in your Clear_Form trigger?

Are you getting any messages coming up on your screen when you press F7?

I have not set any message level...

f7 is a key used to go into the enter-query mode similar to key_enter_query trigger

In my clear form trigger I am setting some enabe on/off for the text boxes in that form..
Iam not setting anything enable on/off for the buttons like save,enter_query. execute_query,exit

After I save a record f7 is not working at that time iam not getting any message...

I am uncomforatble with the idea of enabling and disabling text items in the clear_form trigger. I feel as though you have turned ALL the items off and the reason you can't enter any search arguments is that ALL the fields are 'blocked' to being part of a query.

My suggestion, always, is to get the basic form working, then, and only then, start turning items 'off' and 'on'.

I suggest that you comment out ALL the disables and enables and see if the basic functionality workds in your form. THEN start turning items 'off' and 'on'.

I agree fully with David: do it one step at a time.

[edit]And why don't you just enable or disable the block/item properties (query_allowed, update_allowed, ...) instead of the buttons?
