Automating Add/Edit Form
Posted: 05 Oct 07 2:40 PM

Hi,
I am new to SalesLogix (using v.6.2.4). I was wondering how I could associate an add/edit form so that when the user selects the "Add" option from the pop-up menu, it will bring up an empty form and when the user clicks OK button, it will insert to the database. Currently, I am able to bring up the empty form but saving to database is not coming to me.
So far, I have been using vbscripts to do this whole task and recently I came to know that many of what I coded could be automated. I am sure maintaining would be a lot easier if this can be automated. Thanks in advance for your advice.

It might be beneficial to get some training on this. You might also look into DevLogix as a resource for finding this information out. But to answer your immediate question is you can have a form setup where the fields are bound to the database. To have this form used as a popup from a datagrid you just need to setup the EditView property of the datagrid to point to this databound form.

Hi Ted,
Thanks for the reply. I have already bound the fields to the db and also I setup did the EditView property, that's how I was able to bring up the empty form.
Even though I have the fields bound to the database it is not doing an insertion. Is there any other property that I have to set? I didn't know about devlogix, thanx for that - I will look into it.

Hi Muni,
I just had the same problem as you described.
And I searched a bit more here on the site, and found an example bundle to do exactly that (lookupedit control demo).
I installed that and tested it: the demo works perfectly and does that whole add/edit job without any line of scripting/coding.
I examined it a bit further and found what is wrong with my form: it uses the ACCOUNTPRODUCT table in which I added myself some data (from an external source of our previous software we used), and the "adding" code from SLX generates a key for the ID field which I already used myself. Because of the duplicate primary key, the database won't permit the creation of that new record.
My solution was to manually shift the auto generated key to a number after my selfgenerated keys. Open the SITEKEYS table and find the corresponding key. In my case, the "Other" key type was used. (KEYTYPE=25)
Hope my explanation is a bit understandable.
Only thing that remains is why SLX does not throw a warning or error message while trying to insert the record...
