How do I change Insert form to change form

[kevin plummer]

Hi All,

After a form opens in insert record mode I want to add the record and change to change record mode.

I have added the following to the preinsertafterprimes embed but if I click ok on the form it wants to insert the record again. Is there another SSV I need to change or is even what I am trying to do possible?

Cheers,

Kevin

Access:POTRN.UseFile()
If Access:POTRN.Insert()
  Message('Unable to Insert POTRN')
End
p_web.SetSessionValue('POPurchaseOrderEntryForm_CurrentAction',Net:ChangeRecord)
loc:action = p_web.site.ChangePromptText
loc:act = Net:ChangeRecord

WAG: On Save, When inserting -"Insert Another"  -- on your updateform?

FWIW - i have done something like this where i embed my insert, but come into the form in Change mode.

Would be interested to know if you can easily flip loc:act...

On save I return to the Browse.

I have thought about coming in as change mode but that means I would have to add my own insert and change buttons to the browse and I'm trying to avoid that at the moment as it is a big app.

I think I need the wisdom of Bruce to know if there is an easy way to do this...

Hi Kevin,

the correct thing to so is return the new action from the PreInsert routine.
(you can also change the action in PreUpdate and preDelete)

To change the action set ans = newaction, ie in your case
ans = net:ChangeRecord

The rest (should be) automatic.

Thanks Bruce. Do I need to change Loc:Action and Loc:Act or just changing the ans will clean this up?

[Bruce]

I think just changing ans. Keep us posted...

cheers
Bruce
