I have placed a Command Button to open a form, as soon as I press the button it gives me warning the current form is changed and it has not been committed. Well, I am not ready to save the form yet. If I choose yes, it will take me to the other form. If I place Formcommit () command, it will not work as it will ask me to acknowledge the restriction fields that needed to have value before the record could be saved.

One does not get such warning when a form is opened from a Menu page. Moreover both standalone forms can open side by side (bottome tabs showing various forms being opened and the modes) without any one of them needed to be committed and one can go one form to other without such warning. I could open four different forms Menu page and all of them are open without any such warning.  I do not understand the need for such warning and one additional click. How could I avoid it?

It is  opening a different form in another tab.

Following is the code.

var vTmp as Int
var vRecord as String

//FormCommit ("Physical")
vRecord = @ClientLocalValue ("CurrentRecord")


vTmp = @SelectTreeItem(@Application + "!Forms!Search/Update!Index!Tracker")

/*
FormRunCustomProgram ("Tracker:Search", "RecNumber = vRecord")
*/
//above code is not working for some unknown reasons

 

The above code is not working for some unknown reason. So, I have to use On retrieve Form Open event that place the @ClientLocalValue ("CurrentRecord") in one of the element and Load the Retrieve spec. but that creates another problem that when I want to search/update in that particular layout it would not let me fill out retrieve spec form.

On retrieve form open

var vStr as String

RecNumber = @ClientLocalValue ("CurrentRecord")

vStr = @SpecCommand (2, 1, "")
 

I believe, I have to use some conditional statement here to avoid it.  Any suggestions? Thanks.

Thanks Ray. You are the saviour!!!
