Table filtering advice required...

Hi guys,

I'm looking for a bit of "Best Practice" advice on something I'm trying to do.

I have a pretty ordinary window with a Table, a few input fields, New and Save buttons on it. I'm filtering the Table on a field using the filtering on the Content properties of the Table object.

When the "New" button is pressed I issue HReset & Reset that puts the window into "add" mode (or so I thought), because when I hit the "Save" button, my code uses "..NewRecord = True" to decide if we're in add or modify mode, but it seems to think it's in modify mode.

I've carried out some tracing/debugging and it looks as thought the filtering may be causing the problem - is this a correct assumption?

Thanks in advance for any help...

Hi Darren,

First, you must do a PagetoFile(Pagename,filename) and after:
if filename..newrecord = true then
hadd(filename)
else
hmodify(filename)
end

Regards

Hi,

Yes, thanks for that...

During my investigations I discovered that there's also a whole host of Wlang commands that can affect the ..NewRecord mode property - these being:

HAdd
HWrite
HRead
HReadLast
HReadPrevious
HReadFirst
HReadSeek
HReadNext
HModify
HCross
HRestorePosition
HDelete
FOR EACH File
