[RBASE-L] - Prefilling a form

[Hjortmar Christian]

At the time I am using Salesform, (a two table form in Part 8 of Running R:base your way), as an inspiration for filling in a “Jobticket”. What I want to do is having 8 rows of “orderdetail” prefilled with rows from an articleregister table. It should be easy enough with APPEND articleregister TO tOrderdetail. The rows are in the tOrderdetail table alright but I only get one empty row in the form. That is the APPEND command is issued in the eep that starts the form. If I do the APPEND from within the form entering a new row then I would APPEND over and over again.   I work at a printshop. The purpose of filling in 8 articlegroups are to make it easier and not to miss anything when we fill in a jobticket. Group 1 is a starting fee. Sometimes we don’t need that. Group 2 is choice of paper. Group 3 is about how to put paper together, staple and so forth. Group 4…,5…,6…,7….,8… These groups also define how to charge.   The second group, choice of paper, can be repeated, depending on if the job needs extra paper in the job. So it’s a kind of entering and editing at the same time.   I would be grateful for anything that points me in the right direction of prefilling two table forms.   Regards Christian Hjortmar Kopieringscentralen Universitetssjukhuset i Lund
