Saving a record and running a script

Followers

July 13, 200421 yr

Hello again,

I'd like to run a script when exiting a record. Actually, I'd like to force the user to run "Save Invoice" before exiting a modified record. The script is going to do some validation and automation, and right now I have a button, but I'm trying to find the best way to make sure it was run.

Changing the Layout to not automatically save changes is good because it pops up the dialog, but I want to run my script before the changes are committed.

I'm already using a plug-in to run a script when a certain field changes, so one of my ideas is to set up a DateModified field that's set to auto-enter with the modification date, and validate with the plug-in calling my script.

I'm sure there's other ways to do it though, so I wanted to check in here first.

Thanks.
