Just create a button and use: PROPERTY TABLE <FORMTABLENAME> 'INSERT'
Replace the <FORMTABLENAME> with the your table name(without the brackets) Dan Goldberg From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Patti Jakusz Sent: Monday, February 16, 2015 9:33 AM To: RBASE-L Mailing List Subject: [RBASE-L] - RE: emulate an F2 key? Hi Javier, This isn't really what I'm looking for. I really want an "insert" button that I can use in a scrolling region. Thank you though, Patti ________________________________ From: Javier Valencia <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> To: RBASE-L Mailing List <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> Sent: Sunday, February 15, 2015 9:55 PM Subject: [RBASE-L] - RE: emulate an F2 key? Patti, I never insert a blank row, too many abandoned blank rows that need clean up. I usually prompt the user for the part number, employee ID, procedure code or whatever will identify that row and, after it is verified as correct, I insert row the information collected and default values for the other columns so there are no NULL values for any of the columns: INSERT INTO your_table + (Col_ID,col2, col3, col4, ….) + VALUES(.vCol_Id, 0,0,0,…) PROPERTY TABLE your_table 'REFRESH' PROPERTY TABLE your_table 'LAST' Now you should be able to edit that new row. Hopefully this is what you wanted and it will work for you.

Hi Tom, I'm not sure how this would help them add rows to my table without hitting the F2 key. One thing I neglected to mention is that the form is an "Edit using" form for table1. But in the scrolling region, they are adding new rows to table2. John said that I have to use F2 to insert a new blank row in Table2 and then enter the data. Are you suggesting that I add about 10 or so new blank rows to a temp table and they can just use how ever many they want? Then they don't need to hit F2?

Make a small EEP for a button you can place where you want: PROJECT a temp table using * WHERE LIMIT = 0, table has no values INSERT some values to add one row UPDATE the temp as needed APPEND the temp back to the original table DROP the temp Then use PROPERTY commands 'REFRESH', 'RestoreOrderBy', and 'Last' to get it back in order and open the new row.

Is there a way I can put a control on a form that will act as an F2 key? I have a scrolling region and I can't put in a navigator bar, but we need to be able to insert new rows . But it would be so much nicer if they can click on a button rather than go and find the F2 key. Patti
