Updating Record from Activate() trigger of Text Box

Im trying to insert a new record to a certain table and I placed the inserting commands inside the Activate trigger of a textbox. Why is that I received a message that I can't update a record inside the said trigger?

Hi,

In Navision there are certain triggers that you can and cannot write to the database from. The OnActivate trigger is one of the ones that cannot be used. You will need to find another trigger to use for your insert.

What is it that you are inserting? Why do you need to do it on activate of a textbox?

The C/Side help will tell you which triggers can and can't be used for database inserts/updates.

Hope that helps.

Big thanks!! I know it doesn't make sense to insert a record onto the OnActivate trigger. I was just wondering why I can't update record from within that trigger.

Thanks a lot!!
