Everyone's 2 for 2 with my questions, so lets see if you can make it 3. Im figuring the answer to my question will involve a script, so I figured this is the place to post. Im looking to add a button to a page on a set of records for trying to cancel a record. Example follows:

User will enter in information and there will be 2 buttons at the end. One is to accept a record (OK button) which will run a script to use the information in another file's field, or user can hit a second button (CANCEL button) which will basically cancel the input. This cancel part is the part Im having trouble with. I figured its gonna take something deleting the record that is currently open, but i cant have it staying there for the possibility of it being clicked when on any page.

If ANYONE has an idea, I'll be glad to hear it. And again, thanks for your time.

Last time i also face this type of problem, you can set a the cancel script to delete the record and als the record related to this record, if the record also using portal.

Another way is you set two type of field, one is global, and another one is normal field(text, int...), use global field to let them key in information, if they click ok then the ok button's script will create a new record and assign the information to the normal field. If they click cancel, then just set a script to clear all the information in the global field.

hope this can help you

Hrmmmm, I like the second part of the answer, I'll have to try that... thanks for the help

I'm new to this so its probably a dumb question. Anyway, is their a way to allow entry into a field, but only one time and then it locks?

Hi Scott,

Not a dumb question at all ... this question (or ones similar) have been asked numerous times on several forums.

And there are many answers out there! But the best example (in my opinion) is on CobaltSky's NightWing website called Automatic Value Locking System
