Customer Card - Implementing Mandatory Fields

Gon_M.

Hi experts:

I'm trying to implement mandatory fields in customer card. I chose this alternative:

- DelayedInsert = Yes, in Customer Card Form
- Validate code into the customer card

it worked fine, but I have a problem because I have to validate the contact field, which insert the new contact as a contact of the new customer, but this new customer don't have "No.", because new customer was not be inserted yet, so I obtain an error who say that doesn't exist the customer No.=''.

Someone have a symilar problem?

Thanks in advance.

Yes.
I would suggest to set the customer by default to blocked. Add your logic on the validate of the blocked field. And remove the delayed insert property.

One way to do this is on the form triggers, test the Contact No. field.

Allow the user to Insert without the Check but not close or move the record navigation

Form - OnQueryCloseForm() : Boolean
IF "Contact No." = '' THEN
EXIT(FALSE);

You will also need it on some of these
Form - OnNewRecord(BelowxRec : Boolean)
Form - OnInsertRecord(BelowxRec : Boolean) : Boolean
Form - OnNextRecord(Steps : Integer) : Integer
Form - OnModifyRecord() : Boolean
