forcing user confirmation before saving chan (Read 746 times)

	hi, I was wondering if anyone could point me in the direction of how I could program Sesame to force user confirmation by way of a pop-up box or similar before saving any changes to records. We are having problems with users scrolling through records using F10 and not realising they have updated/changed details in a record and saving the wrong information. Is there any programming that can prompt a user if they are sure they want to update the record when they hit F10?

	Hello, I believe the following is what you are looking for. In your on Form Entry programming place Code If @Update Then { NotifyForm(1) } Then in your on Form Exit programming place Code Var vI as Int If @Update Then { If @Modified Then { If @AskUser("This Record has been changed.", "", "Do you want to save the changes?") { NotifyForm(0) } Else { vI = @SelectTreeItem("Search Update Menu!Edit Commands!Undo Current Form (Shift-F7)") NotifyForm(0) } } Else { NotifyForm(0) } } This will prompt the user if the form has changed before saving it. If the user wishes to not save the changes they are undone and the record is reverted back to what it was when the user first entered it. -Ray

	You might also want to look at your form programming to make it so that people can safely browse through records without unintentionally changing data.

	thanks Ray.. i will give it a try. Hammer - what sort of form programming can I use for that? do you mean something like a command button to browse to next record rather than users hitting F10 and unintentionally committing changes? Cheers

No, I mean changing your programming so that users are less likely to make changes without knowing it simply by trying to browse through records in the first place.
