Usage of XRec?

Peter_Wijntjes

In what circumstances does XRec contain the last read value from the database?

Why does this not work in Dataport?

Contact.Get(No);
if Contact.Name ='Old name' then begin
  Contact.Name:= 'New name';
  Contact.Modify(True);
end;

When debugging into Contact.OnModify
value of
xrec.Name = 'New name'
and
rec.Name = 'New name'

Why :shock:

I Think the xRec is only used when a record is changed via a form.

What you can do in case of the Contact table is make your own xRec in the dataport and instead of using Modify(TRUE); use

Cont.Modify;
Cont.OnModify(xCont);

yep, that's what I did. 8)

Don't you think this is rather strange behaviour for a database trigger? ](*,)

I Think navision created this just for the same reason.

Contacts need to be synchronised no matter if the change is made from a form or from code.
