Why does code fire twice?

[John Fligg]

In ONE field only on my form I have some Reset Code:

LOC:ClientString = p_web.restorevalue('Cli:FirstName') & p_web.restorevalue('Cli:LastName')

However when I check, this code is firing twice when I press TAB on that field.

I have placed my code in Routines, General Tab, Field Name - 3 Value Routine - Actually just read the manual again and think this should go in 2 Valiudate:Server Side - but still the same - fires twice

Is there a different embed to use to only make it fire once?

Also why does it only fire on Insert? Is there somewhere I have missed to make it fire on Edit also?

the "calling twice" issue is fixed in the 6.07 build.

your code though should be;

LOC:ClientString = p_web.GSV('Cli:FirstName') & ' ' & p_web.GSV('Cli:LastName')
p_web.SSV('LOC:ClientString',LOC:ClientString)

GSV is short for GetSessionValue, SSV is short for SetSessionValue.

In the "server side code" you should always set the SessionValue.

The exact location of the code will determine when it runs. What routine is it in?

Thanks Bruce.

My code is in Routines, General Tab, Field Name - 2 Valuidate FiledName - Add Server Side Code

that's what I assumed - so that's goo. Note that that runs when the field is completed, but not when the user clicks on "Save".
