A pretty rudimentary script, where I use a placeholder via a global field, to grad some values and pks and paste them in the appropriate tables. No matter what I choose at the end while I am on a layout trying to grab the pk value from the new record I created, go to field then select all then copy, or have one field = to another, or straight copy with select all included, I get an error 102, and the pk value is never copied.

Is there something apparently wrong in what I am doing? Perhaps I might need to post the full script.

 

//EDIT: solved, I was missing a record commit apparently.

You are using copy & paste; instead use Set Variable, Set Field etc.

 

This not only leaves your (or your users') clipboard contents untouched, but is also much more robust since the involved fields don't have to be on the layout.

Many thanks for the good practise advice. I will follow it to a t.
