Odd script behavior

[KurtW]

Hi all:

I am getting some weird script results and was wondering if anyone can spot my error.

I have a scripr that asks the user if they want to print some records. If they choose 'Yes' it prints fine then asks if they want to mark these records as sent. Here's where it breaks down. If user chooses 'No' to print but 'Yes' to mark as sent, it works fine.)

The block that is vexing me is marked in red in the attached .gif.

No matter what I do, the script just seems to skip the Replace Contents step. I placed a DEBUG to prove that this portion of the script is firing, and it is. I return the DEBUG.

But the next step, Replace, doesn't fire or offer a dialog. So I added an If-End If to see if there has been an error. At first I did:

If[Get(LastError)> 0]

... and it fired the enclosed DEBUG. Realizing that didn't tell me enough I then rewrote that snippet to return the error if the error WASN'T 0. Guess what - I return an error of ZERO when this fires.

I am really lost here. Why am I returning an error 0 with:

If [Get(LastError) <> 0]?

And if Error code 0 means NO ERROR, why won't this section perform the Replace Contents, but the later section will?

Thanks in advance for any help you can give

Found answer, and it's of the 'DUH' variety. You can't alter records while you are in PREVIEW mode, of course.

All is well now.
