ONSAVE set to stay, but only saves the first time in a form.

[Mark Sarson]

Hi

I have a form without a browse.

I call this from from a menu option with the link like so:

'updatemainpassenger?change_btn=change&_bidv_=' & p_web.AddBrowseValue('WebMenu','Customer',CUS:KeyCustomerID,p_web.GSV('CustomerID')) & '&PressedButton=change_btn'

When the user saves their data from this form, I need the form to stay open on the same tab as it was on before the save.

I have tried many ways to do this without avail.

I thought I was onto something when I tried this in the   ! Start of "Set Form Action" embed,

 p_web.SetValue('onsave','stay')  ! Make the target be the same form

This works with the first save I make, but then any save after that,  the post update is not being called, and if I return to the form later, any changes I make on the second and any other attempt after that, changes are lost.

Any help in resolving this would be much appreciated.

Regards

Hi Mark,

It sounds to me like you're starting with the wrong viewpoint.

The save button on the form does a "submit". Now, you could just set the "URL on Save" to be the same form (with the same parameters) that seems a bit of a clumsy way to do it.

Perhaps what you really should do is remove the Save button from the form altogether, and add a normal button to the form (one for each tab I guess) marked "save". Then in the server-code for this button you can do a manual "save". Ok, that's a little bit more work (you'd need to fetch the record, do a SessionQueue2File call, and a Put) but the form just sits there quite happily.

Presumably you'd then use the "close" button to send the user elsewhere in the program.

Cheers
