Is there any way to stop a user from committing a record without pressing a submit button in the FM Client?

Probably know the answer to the question but... I'm just trying to avoid using global fields not that it will make a huge difference.

Cheers.

You could uncheck the "Save record changes automatically" checkbox in the layout setup dialog. Then users would have to click the save button.

Yeh, but then the dialog pops up... no way to attach a script to that (that i know of).

A plug in is acceptable here if someone can tell me how to set it up as a sort of "pre-commit" step...

Here is a totally impractical and imperfect way of doing it...

Lol love the name, but what if they double click?

Suppose i could overlay the entire layout with a button, but that will give people seizures with the major inversion.

Anyone have any bright idea's (no pun intended )

Cheers guys.

This'll do it... ;)

Yeh, but i'll have a seizure lol.

I guess no real alternative at this stage .

Guess i'll have to use globals. Spose i can live with that.

The simplest way would be to set Validation by calculation to "0".

Then have your commit script contain a Commit Record step with the "Skip data entry validation" set. Your Custom dialog can say "Please use the Commit button".

You know what... that is not a bad idea... Good work David!

Hey Genx,

This works on a mac (no seizure included), and its very very simple...
