A message is displayed two times when i open a form!!

hazem

Hello everybody,
i want to display a message each time i get a record. I put the code dipsalying this message in the trigger OnAfterGetRecord() of the form. The problem is that the message is dispalyed two times when i run the form, if i go to another record the message is displayed only one time. What should be the problem?

OnAfterCurrentRecord instead?

In stead of just putting the message, you can use a global variable of the same record-type as the SourceTable of the form.
If the current record is different from the one in the global variable, you give a message (and save the record in the global variable), otherwise no message.
The code will be something like this:
global variable recMyRecord AS record of table X.

IF (recMyRecord."Primary key Field 1" <> "Primary key Field 1") OR
   (recMyRecord."Primary key Field 2" <> "Primary key Field 2") OR
   ... THEN BEGIN
  MESSAGE('Your Message');
  recMyRecord := rec;
END;

Thanks kriki, the problem of saving the message only once is solved. But still got another problem!!!If for example i reduce the window and open it again i got the message again!!!!!!

Resizing columns will do the same.

This because in both cases, the screen is refreshed.
