June 7, 200421 yr I'm not sure why, but using a 'Set Field' command when switching to a layout in one of my scripts will Set the field the correct value, and then leave the cursor in the field even though it's not allowed to be data entered in browse mode. Users can then type in anything and everything they want, and then when the leave the field it saves it. Unless I'm blind, I can't see the 'Exit Record/Request' script step they had in FM6. I could do a Insert Calculated Result in another field (I think, at least), but that seems rather silly.
June 7, 200421 yr Commit Records/Requests is the equivalent of Exit Record/Request and is now necessary to use at the end of almost any script that enters a record to set a value or create a relationship. I believe there is an option to 'auto-commit' and disable this feature, but I don't recall where it resides.
June 7, 200421 yr Author Thank you much, I remember seeing that option, but I didn't want to mess with stuff that I didn't know what it did!
