In the app I'm working on, there's a form wherein if the user fills in the 'Completion Date' and saves, a filter fires that changes the Status to 'Complete' and a message fires that tells the user this has happened. What my customer would like is when she clicks 'OK' on that message, it's just like clicking on the 'Return to Home' button (an AL closes the current window and opens a new instance of the 'Control Panel' window).
As far as I can tell, I can't just run al AL on the 'OK' click on the message box, so I'm not sure how best to make this work. I'm thinking an AL that does the same actions as the 'Return to Home' AL, but I'm not sure how to get it to fire when I want and not when I don't. I've thought about 'After Modify', but I don't want to close the window every time someone saves any change, and it seems to me that after a modify 'DB' value would equal what's on the form, so I can't use that to tell me if the completion Date has changed.
Should I just fire on 'Modify' with a Run If that checks for a change in the 'Completion Date' by comparing DB to TR? Any other ideas?
I guess I'm not real clear on the difference between execute on 'Modify' vs. 'After Modify' so I'll dive into the manuals while y'all think about this.
