Can one Xpost into Naturally Linked Subform?

Even if it is done,  I believe, xpost will not be able to create record and will not be able to do data manipulation by using programming. I believe mass-update will be able to do all that in naturally linked subform. But then it will not be seamless process like xpost.  Is there any way to update naturally linked subform seamlessly, meaning only by programming including creating new subform records whenever necessary?

All of the above while working with the different database but it can be in the same application.  Your feedback will be very much appreciated.

Yes you can !! My application does it all the time all my records are natural linked. ALL mine are in the same database. Wink Here is some code not pretty but it works.

If @Update and (Loc0 = 1) then
{
xpost(@Fn,Part number,"Mastinv!Item number",Qty0,"PHA1","Sub")
}
else if(Loc0 = 2)
{
xpost(@Fn,Part number,"Mastinv!Item number",Qty0,"PHA2","Sub")
}
else if(Loc0 = 3)
{
xpost(@Fn,Part number,"Mastinv!Item number",Qty0,"PHA3","Sub")
}
else if(Loc0 = 4)
{
xpost(@Fn,Part number,"Mastinv!Item number",Qty0,"Vict","Sub")
}
If Loc0 = 5
{
xpost(@Fn,Part number,"Mastinv!Item number",Qty0,"Shop","Sub")
}
Else
{
If (Loc0 >5) then Writeln("Didn't Work")
}

Robert,

We can XPost to a natually linked subrecord, but I believe Bharat is wanting to create a natural subrecord from a different DB. How would you create a new natural subrecord (from outside of the parent form) with XPost, and get Sesame to know what parent to associate it with?

Version 1.x can create a natural sub using @FormCreateNewRecord, but only if you are on its parent at the time. Version 2 can use a new set of commands (XResultSet) to create and link natural subrecords from outside the database.

Thanks Carl. You understood my question well and put it very nicely.  Xpost either replace or calculate new values but how would it create a naturally linked subrecords? With available commands and functions for creating new records in subform will only work with the open parent form. I do not think even Mass Update will be able to accomplish that either when it comes to naturally creating naturally linked subrecords.

It is indeed good to hear from Erika that such capabilities are available with new programming commands and functions in Sesame version 2.0.  I can hardly wait for version 2. Until then I will toil with some alternate methods with old designs. Thank you all.
