IWP browser's back button

Featured Replies

I have built a reporting FORMS suite using IWP. The users is automatically logged in as "Guest" and when he clicks on the link it brings him to the FORMS. Obviously when he logs in the IWP Status Area is hidden so i can't navigate in the FMP database.

It all works fine except that : When the users clicks on the browser's back (previous) button he gets a prompt asking if he wants to submit the form again. Then the user click on YES and he comes back to the same display, the new record he was on and ready to be filled. Then if he clicks on the back button a few more times, IWP will display the first record of the database and all the data in it. The user may even edit the data of that record.

I wonder if there is a way to avoid the display of another record than the new record the user has just created.

Thanks for your replies.

Whilst not expressly prohibited in IWP the browser back/forward buttons can produce unusual effects.

Your solution should provide all the necessary navigation buttons without the need to use the browsers features, and train the users accordingly.
