Need some guidance here... I am trying to copy the data in one record to a new record in the same table, then change the JobNo field to some new Job umber that I already have and validated as unique.
The problem is that the table has an AutoInc field named "ipkey", and VFP does not want to let me do a GATHER for obvious reasons. So, I understand why it has this limitation because of autoinc, I just want to know how one normally works around it. Presently, to get around it, I am doing a REPLACE command on every field except ipkey, but I was hoping to use the SCATTER NAME / GATHER NAME method to avoid having to list out every field, and so I would have code that is independent of the field names. Here's what I wanted to use: Select 0 Use Jobs order jobno ... navigate to the desired record .. SCATTER NAME loCurrentJob Append Blank Gather NAME loCurrentJob replace JobNo with lcNewJobNo && a passed in value, already validated --- StripMime Report -- processed MIME parts --- multipart/alternative text/plain (text body -- kept) text/html --- _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[email protected] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
