Thread: trigger before next record

trigger before next record Your last visit to this thread was on 1/1/1970 12:00:00 AM

On our custom Opportunity screen I have a field that I want to allow users to lower the dollar value, but not increase. When the user enters a value I use the OnEnter and OnUpdate (I think these are the names) to prevent the user from increasing the value. Unfortunately, If the user enters a value and immediately clicks the right arrow to advance to the next opportunity no checks are done and the record is saved.

I can't determine any method of preventing this.

Thanks for your help.

You can use either the OnBeforeRecordClose or OnValidate form events.

Assuming you capture the dollar value when the opportunity is AXFORMCHANGE (global variables use less resources than a control e.g. txtOldDollarValue.TEXT as an invisible control would be my second choice to gOldDollarValue = txtSalesPotential.TEXT ).

OnExit of the control is always good.....and I thought this had been tightened up to capture all control exit events including special keys, tabs, menu items, clicking on a non SLX window, icons, etc.....but using John's Form Events also works, now that you know the initial value of DollarValue and have the new screen value and can compare it......

I will go back and try your suggestions, but I'm pretty sure I tried all the triggers. Thanks very, very much.
