Hi, I am having trouble with one of my validation fields. I have a field that is not supposed to be empty. When the record is committed, I have a custom message displaying saying the field needs to be filled in. After clicking out the the dialog box, a second box appears (the revert dialog box) I don't want this to happen. I have built other databases that have used this same setup, however, this is the first time that the revert dialog box has appeared after the custom message. I have looked at everything very carefully, but I can't find what is different between the previous databases I have built and the one I am building now. Can anyone explain why this is happening?

Hello again, I am having trouble with a revert dialog box that doesn't seem to want to stay out of the way. I have written a script that sets field1 to "yes". The user is not allowed to leave the layout until not isempty(field1). (or until the script sets the field.) This vield is a "not empty" field and displays a validation message if the user tries to leave the layout before the not isempty(field1). This all works great, because after the validation message shows I don't get the revert record message that typically follows, which is the way I want it. However, when I followed this exact same method with a different layout, I can't seem to make the revert message dialog box to not show. I don't understand how it worked on one layout, but not another. Is there something I've overlooked?

Hi, I am using a script to cause a new window to appear so that the user can fill out a form on a seperate layout. After the user is finished, a button triggers another script to close the window and resize the original window. However, the layout "flickers" really bad when it loads. Is there anyway to stop this? Thanks, Nick

must be something to do with the table relationship and how the tests are evaluated among the records. Thanks for the tips. Guess I'll keep trying

Hi, I am working on an inventory management system and am having a problem. I have made a mock calculation field that looks like this: IF(IsEmpty(fieldx)=1 and IsEmpty(fieldy)=1;"yes";"no"). This calculation works; however, when I attempt to plug the logical test into a script using the IF script step, the AND operator doesn't seem to work. If I use one of the logical test instead of both, my script runs perfect. Below is the portion of the scrip that is giving me fits. >Else If [Get(FoundCount)<> 0] >>Go to Last Record >>If[isEmpty(Staging::Returned to Warehouse)=0 and IsEmpty(Packaging::Time In)=0] >>>Delete Record >>Else If[isEmpty(Staging::Returned to Warehouse)=1 and Is Empty(Packaging::Time In)=1] >>>Enter Browse Made >>>Paste.... Again the script runs fine if I only use one of the logical tests but as soon as I use the AND operator and two logical tests the thing doesn't work. Also, the fields are all in related tables. What am I missing?
