Bruce, When I ma working on a form I use one of two methods to test. One is clicking the blue right arrow or (Ctrl-F9) which saves the current version and opens the form in the edit test mode. The other is clicking the thunderbolt icon (Shift-Ctrl-F9) which will not save the changes made since the form was last saved but gives you the option of selecting the mode, Edit or Enter, and allows you to select WHERE and Sort Clauses and stores a history of them. I find it extremely handy when I need to test a form with a specific, long selection clause since I can just pick it up from the list. Again, you need to save your form if you want to test the changes made when using the second option. Javier, Javier Valencia, PE 913-915-3137 From: [email protected] <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Bruce Chitiea Sent: Friday, October 15, 2021 11:06 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [RBASE-L] - Form Design | ENTER and EDIT Modes RBGX5E 10.5.4.11007 QUESTION: For design/testing purposes, which PROPERTY, when defined within a Form's On Before Design Action/On Before Start EEPs, will set the Form into ENTER mode? BACKGROUND: While designing a Form bound to a TEMP Table; - intended strictly for data entry one row at a time; - during testing within a design session; - where the Temp Table is empty; - where both On Before EEPs have TRACE set ON: (1) when hit, the [Ctrl-F9] "Run Form" (blue triangle icon): - skips both On Before EEPs; - returns error: "No rows exist or satisfy the specified clause. (2059)" ... as if "Run Form" operates strictly in EDIT mode. (2) when hit, the [Shift-Ctrl-F9] "Run Form Live" (lightning icon): - displays the Run Form <formname> dialog; - runs the On Before EEPs no matter which mode is chosen; - succeeds when ENTER is chosen; - fails with 2059 when EDIT or BROWSE are chosen (as expected).
