What Error Message do I use??

[raingirl]

I am encountering a serious problem and I cannot find which error message to use:

I have scripted record creation for some of my tables by overriding the menus. However, if I am defining fields in that table and a user runs the script that creates a record in that table, it gives them a error message....does not create the record but continues on as usual with the script. What error function do I use to trap for this so I can immediately stop the script from continuing?

Thanks much,

Marcelle

You should not be working on the files live.

Good advice Lee, however...

The script needs a Set Error Capture [ON] statement, typically at the beginning, and you need a field to hold the trapped error to investigate with. Here's an outline

Set Error Capture [On]

.

.

New Record/Request

Set Field [error_field; Get (LastError))

.

.

Notice that the error trap must exist IMMEDIATELY after the script step your are trapping for.
