Right now I have an element, Creator, that is set to be filled with a global value as soon as a new, blank form is opened.  However, if I exit out of the form without making any other entries, the warning box "record has not been saved" pops up, which I do not desire, I'd like to make a clean exit unless I've made other entries.  So I want to take that programming out of on-form-entry.

Is there a way to have the element fill if the user makes any other kind of initial change to the form?  I know I can program on-form-change, but that will run whenever any element changes, every time an element changes.  I only need it to run once, when any element changes.

Is this possible?

I usually do this using Form:: On Element Change with a Done flag.

GLOBAL CODE
------------------

stat sDone as Int

   sDone = 0 

Form:: On Element Change
--------------------------------

If @IsNew and sDone = 0
{
    // Do Stuff
    sDone = 1
}
