Hello all,

My company has Navision 4.0 SP1 and we have the Item table set to automatically assign a number when creating part numbers. The problem is that people are looking at the item card and scrolling to the last number and then accidentally creating a new part when they TAB off the blank number field.

So what I did is this on the Item Card:
Form - OnNewRecord(BelowxRec : Boolean)
IF CONFIRM('Are you sure you want to create a new part?') = FALSE THEN BEGIN
    ERROR('');
END;

But this is not the best solution. I would like it if rather than ERROR(‘’) I could just set the card to the last item number and not exit the card. I have tried several things to accomplish this and I keep having problems.

Any suggestions?

    I'd probably make the No. field not editable, and give the user a button or a selection on the Functions menubutton to create a new Item.

    Hi shane,
    please try this...
    Form - OnInsertRecord(BelowxRec : Boolean) : Boolean

IF NOT CONFIRM('Are you sure you want to create a new part?',FALSE) THEN
  EXIT(FALSE);
EXIT(TRUE);

    Instead of using OnNewRecord, use OnInsertRecord. Then you can do this:


    Form - OnInsertRecord(BelowxRec : Boolean) : Boolean
    IF NOT CONFIRM('Are you sure you wanna make da new item?') THEN BEGIN
    GET(xRec."No.");
    EXIT(FALSE);
    END;

    The Get will reposition to the last record you were on. If you want it to go to the last record just change it to find('+').

    Brilliant, thank you guys…

    …my final solution looks like your suggestion ashadam999:
    Form - OnInsertRecord(BelowxRec : Boolean) : Boolean
IF NOT CONFIRM('Are you sure you want to create a new part?') THEN BEGIN
  GET(xRec."No.");
  EXIT(FALSE);
END;

    I like "GET(xRec."No.");". This behaves better than I originally had in mind.

    Thanks again,
    Shane
