It turned out that the window was being opened. What I didn't realise at first was that 4GL does not clear the the new window so you can "see" the contents of the old window in the space of the new window. You need to open the window and then do a "clear window" (something like that, I'm at home and forget the correct sytax). It is also useful to hae an "attribute border" when opening windows, so that it is obvious something new has been displayed. Hope this helps.
