Are you sure you want to delete box

[martinc17]

Hello,

How do you get Filemaker 8 pro to give you a diolog box that would say something like 'Are you sure you want to delete this record' when a user clicks delete?

This is for a database thats hosted using IWP?

Thanks

Martinc17:

The custom dialog boxes don't work via IWP, so what you're best off doing is to create a new layout (you can totally fake the dialog box with creative artwork) which will behave like a dialog box. When a user clicks delete in your current layout, you'd acually be sending them to that new layout. In the new layout, if they click "okay", you'd run a script that would:

1. Delete the Record.

2. Return them to whatever layout is appropriate.

If they click "cancel", just send them back to the original layout.

Hope that makes sense. It's Friday and I'm getting ready to go out, so my brain is already mostly shut down...
