MODIFYALL Help file?

Alex_Chow

RunTrigger
Type: Boolean

If this parameter is true, the code in the OnModify Trigger is executed. If this parameter is false (default), the code in the OnModify trigger is not executed.

Remarks
If no filter is set, the field is modified in all records in the table. If a filter is set, the fields are modified only in the records which fall within the range specified by the filter.

The OnValidate (Fields) Trigger is never executed when MODIFYALL is used.

These 2 statements seem to contradict each other?

WHy?

Using TRUE with MODIFYALL runs the table OnModify trigger. Not the field's trigger.

It means:

Function ModifyAll(OK)
IF Rec.FINDSET THEN REPEAT
  Rec.Field := Value; // As opposed to Rec.VALIDATE(Field,Value);
  Rec.MODIFY(OK);
UNTIL Rec.NEXT = 0;

nevermind. I figured it out... It turns out I can't read.
