Hi James,

Yes, that is basically what I'm looking for, but it fires at the wrong time.

It's a simple window. A listbox with a long list of names and a page 
panel tht displays different info about each name. I put code in the 
pagepanel close event, but this is what happens:
I select a name from the listbox. I switch to the correct page panel and 
make a change. Now, if I select a different name from the listox, it 
changes to another person, losing the new info in the page panel, and 
then the message box about not applying the new data appears.

I forgot to put in my first email:
Xojo 2016r4.1
Linux mint 18 - 32 bit system

Thanks for your time,
Don
