Hi-
I want to use Formexit() to close the form and go back to the Main Menu. 

I use this on a command button.  Clicking the button is nothing happen :

FormExit("Client")

Client is the Form Name

What am I doing wrong?


Thanks.

Hello Erika!

I would like to thank you for  the prompt answer.
But I do not believe I understand you correctly. I mean I can only openly
forms close or? 
Into which practicable situation can one use such Formexit()?

Thanks.

There is more to it then just a command, I think it depends on how you open your form and if you have a default form set as a menu.

I have a menu form set as a default and this code on a Save and exit button on my form payment. Hope this steers you in the right direction.

/*
Saves the record and then Exits current mode to the Menu
This works whether adding or searching records because both Menu Tree items are covered
*/

var vNav as Int


If @Mode() = 1
{
     FormCommit("payments")
     vNav = @SelectTreeItem("Search Update Menu!Navigation!Save Record")
     @exit
}

If @Mode() = 0
{
     FormCommit("payments")
     vNav = @SelectTreeItem("Add Data Menu!Navigation!Save Record")
     @exit
}

Just to clarify  in the code above FormCommit("payments") is actually saving  data on the subform payments that is on the form payment before saving and closing the actual payment form its on. So if you do not have a subform you do not need this.

Also in the newer release of Sesame the documentation explains FormCommit("”)

Calling this command causes the open record in the named form to be committed (saved). Only the open (selected) record in the specified form is saved. In an application with subforms, this command should be used in place of an @SelectTreeItem("Add Data Menu!Navigation!Save Record") command. If the form
name is left blank("") the action will take place on the form from which the command is run.

In the case of subforms, this command will commit the subform record, but does not save (link) it to the parent record. The parent record must be saved independently.

In the case of a parent record, all previously committed subforms will be linked to the parent and the parent form will be committed.

Examples:


FormCommit("Countries")
FormCommit("")

Close enough. It actually commits the parent before the children, so if new, there is a parent on the engine side on to which to attach the children.

I think.
