Stop a commit?

[David Nelson]

I tried unchecking Save Automatically' on layout but then person gets the message evert time they accidentally click the layout. Can I use trigger to stop someone committing but enter info on a new record. Then commit or revert by a button? I know I could create a lot of globals but if I can figure this out I won't need all of that.

I tried OnRecordCommit and and then ask if they want to cancel new record, save it or keep working but my custom dialog still pops up too often. With modal window I would prefer a Save button. Not let it commit until button so if they change their mind it can still convert?

Why not use the known trick of placing an empty large Web Viewer on the body and under all the fields ?

Hi Daniele, thank you for helping.  No, I obviously didn't know about this "known trick".  It works great, much appreciated!

Hi,

I was also looking for something similar to this and had only come up with using a separate table as data capture and then on pressing a commit button moving to the "real" table and transferring all the captured information then deleting the record from the capture table.. Exactly what is this "Known Trick" that i don't know, this could save immeasurable time.

What is hard to understand about " ... placing an empty large Web Viewer on the body and under all the fields ... "

I had no problem with the english, I just do not understand why it would stop a record being committed, is this not just another empty field.

 

OK is it because the user can no longer commit the record by clicking outside the field
