Hi Bruce,
I have two NetWebForms. On one, priming works fine. On the second, priming is not working.
One the form where it's not working, 'Prime for Insert' and 'Prime for Copy' are checked but Disabled. I see no way to enable them. Also, this form has 'User must be logged in' set. That's the only differences I can see between the two forms.

HI Alan
It sounds like this is a netwebform where the form source is set as memory.
If that's right then the default for memory forms is Change which is why the prime for change checkbox can be set.
If you go to the advanced tab on the form there is a dropdown for the default form action which can be changed to insert.
Currently unless you check the prime for change box no priming will be done.
This presupposes that what I said in the first line a bove is correct. If not please ignore ;-)

Terry,
Thanks for the reply. You are correct, they are both memory forms. I set the offending form to Insert as you suggested. Unfortunately, that did not enable the prime on insert checkbox. Although it is checked and disabled, the priming still doesn't work.

Hi Alan.
Is there a reason why you want to do an Insert on a memory form? You are not saving the record, I assume you are just using the form to store certain variables to be used in limiting a report or browse.
If that's the case I personally would leave the setting as change and check the prime on change box.
Then check the preupdate routine in your form's source code to see that the priming information is there.

Memory forms are in "change" mode, and hence priming on Insert does not make sense.
cheers

Ok, cool. I didn't realize memory forms were always in change mode.
I got the desired results by checking "Prime for change" and "Only if field is not already set".
Thanks Bruce

My pleasure (I think)
