Update parent after child updated
« on: February 12, 2015, 12:42:10 PM »
CL 9.1
NT 8.34

Browse on a form
The form for that browse has a child table on a tab
All works fine
When I add a record to the child table I want to set a field called 'newnotes' in the parent so I can indicate this on the main browse
Have tried Post Update on the Child Form
Have tried setting a Session value then looking for this on the save of the parent form but nothing seems to work.

Any ideas appreciated
Thanks.
Brian

Hi Brian,

The answer might be simple - but I'm not sure that I'm understanding the question correctly.

the short answer is that on the form, the Browse is included as a "Procedure" Form field type. The "Client side" tab for that form field still work - so when the Procedure changes the fields in the Reset List are updated.

cheers
Bruce

That was it Bruce, thanks.
I keep forgetting that the browse can act like a field on a form and to use that Reset list, it's very handy.

Brian.
