I have this small pop-up window on a screen - that was a custom change required by a client. They now wanted more changes - including this deal where there is a Yes/No regarding a Date Field being Required. The Conundrum is that they want one of them to Default to a Yes. Now, in the DBF - for the Yes/No fields I am using a Logical field. But, for a pre-existing data record - those Logical fields are all Blank - which essentially evaluates to a False. When the screen reads the data - it sees all the blank fields as False. And, if I try to Default one of those things to a True - how do I know whether the field was set to False by a User - and now the program is trying to push it to be True/Yes?
For the pre-existing records - with Blanks in the fields - is there a way I can test for them being Blank/Un-Modified vs. False? The other option - as suggested by my QA Tech buddy - is to replace the field with True through out the Whole DBF file - and, I would also have to change the program that initially Creates the DBF record - and change it to force that field value to a True to start off with...
