Event script problem

[Slobey]

hi everyone,

I am using eventscript. I have a pop up window to allow entry into a number of fields (more than a custom dialog box would allow) and a "done" button that closes the window. the fields have an eventscript attached to them. If the user tabs out of the fields the script triggers, but if the user changes a field and clicks on the done button without exiting the field, then the window closes and the script is run from the wrong layout. How can I either prevent the user from clicking the button while still in a field or work around it.

this is driving me nuts

Thanks in advance

Add a Commit Records/Requests step at the beginning of the Done script. If that doesn't work, try testing If [Get(ActiveFieldName)] and exiting/halting if true.

Thanks for replying,

I had already tried the commit but the script still waited until the done script finished. The halt/exit option works but requires a double click on the done button, the first halts the script and runs the other then the second closes it. I don't see any other options so I quess a double click is it.

Thanks

You could also change the Done button to be linked to a simple Resume Script step and change the initial script to Pause/Resume to allow for data entry and then call the Done script. Then pressing Enter (on the number keypad) would perform the same function as clicking on the button.
