Ok, thank you Erika, I’ll work on that.
In the meantime and since version 3 is being worked on, do you think that this is a feature that could be worked into it?
Having the option to have Sesame display the last Form View record worked on or saved, when you open the parent record. I think the use of Form View would be much more powerful this way.
That's probably not viable, Brandon, but we'll keep it in mind.
Quote:Just to satisfy my own curiosity and if you have time, how is Form View supposed to be used? In other words, if you enter a parent record that contains a subform displayed in Form View, what is expected of the data entry person to find the last Form View record worked on(if it's saved), since it defaults to the first record? My customer for example uses a Form View subform to track subscription orders. She wants to be able to see the last order record entered the next time she opens the subscriber's parent record, not the first one.
Also, and on a slightly different subject, Table View shows the last entry, last on the list. Is there a way to reverse the order in Table View without a sort on the data so that the last entry is first?
In both the cases you describe, that's what a default sort is for. If all you want is for the record with the latest date to appear first, apply a default sort that puts the records in that order and they will always come up that way.
