Add New Rec, Set Field... It doesn't seem to commit?

[RodM]

Hello, TIA

I have set several fields to a $var's

I Add New N Record, then start replacing field by field

Set field with my $var etc vars

Stepping through my code..watch $vars --they are there? but looking at the layout my fields are blank..

data doesn't seem to get committed to new record after my set fields

LOL, i used Replace Field Content in learning.. fixed it... but now find that its replaced all my record fields with same content.. so I am back to Set Field command.. and must be missing something...

fixed it was!!! ... my key relationship field when I added a new record was blank.. then i called a script to set all these field, lastly ending up at layout to enter the account# (the relation key field)

WHAT fixed it.. was when I New Record request, I immediately add "????" as a phony Key for relation record... now after Set field... they got committed...

What experimentation and experience means
