for years, I used code like this when calling a form from a browse,
at the top of GenerateForm Routine for the Form:
if some condition
packet.SetValue( 'Security Restriction (' & P_WEB.GSV('Loc:PrivatePage') & '), This Action is Not permitted for ' & p_web.gsv('ProfileLoginID') & '!' )
do SendPacket
Return -3
endMy menus are such that this would show the message, that would appear under my menu - and stopping the action.
(Avoiding what Nettalk does by default- not serving the page with the user unaware of why?)
if the form is a popup, this does not work, the Return works but you get a blank (incomplete) popup, i would like to communicate to the user the reason that the form will not let them continue..
I was wondering if someone has a suggestion on how to accomplish showing an alert or message on the popup for this circumstance?
TIA

Hi Bruce,
That may work when calling a Browse, but not when the browse has called a Popup Form, as it will show the contents of the popup form.
To avoid putting conditions on all the elements of the form, i can simply short-stop out of a non_Popup form GenerateForm with a return -3.
I think with a popup i would need to do what ever it requires to finish generating cleanly with some text and an ok button.
(or get in front of it somehow conditionally fake-out the popup stuff) But i have yet to find a practical place to do this and at what stage... as its easy to break functionality elsewhere.
I currently do the check in the GenerateForm because i need to check after the LoadRelatedRecords Routine.
I tend to use tabs on my forms, so I guess i can conditionally ignore them and show a special tab with the access message on it.,
but i was hoping for a generic solution as i have for the non-popups.
