Confirm Add New Part

shane

Hello all,

My company has Navision 4.0 SP1 and we have the Item table set to automatically assign a number when creating part numbers. The problem is that people are looking at the item card and scrolling to the last number and then accidentally creating a new part when they TAB off the blank number field.

So what I did is this on the Item Card:

Form - OnNewRecord(BelowxRec : Boolean)
IF CONFIRM('Are you sure you want to create a new part?') = FALSE THEN BEGIN
    ERROR('');
END;

But this is not the best solution. I would like it if rather than ERROR(‘’) I could just set the card to the last item number and not exit the card. I have tried several things to accomplish this and I keep having problems.

Any suggestions?

I'd probably make the No. field not editable, and give the user a button or a selection on the Functions menubutton to create a new Item.

Hi shane,
please try this...

Form - OnInsertRecord(BelowxRec : Boolean) : Boolean

IF NOT CONFIRM('Are you sure you want to create a new part?',FALSE) THEN
  EXIT(FALSE);
EXIT(TRUE);

Instead of using OnNewRecord, use OnInsertRecord. Then you can do this:


Form - OnInsertRecord(BelowxRec : Boolean) : Boolean
IF NOT CONFIRM('Are you sure you wanna make da new item?') THEN BEGIN
GET(xRec."No.");
EXIT(FALSE);
END;

The Get will reposition to the last record you were on. If you want it to go to the last record just change it to find('+').

Brilliant, thank you guys…

…my final solution looks like your suggestion ashadam999:

Form - OnInsertRecord(BelowxRec : Boolean) : Boolean
IF NOT CONFIRM('Are you sure you want to create a new part?') THEN BEGIN
  GET(xRec."No.");
  EXIT(FALSE);
END;

I like "GET(xRec."No.");". This behaves better than I originally had in mind.

Thanks again,
Shane
