Jim,
I'd have to agree with Mike. Seems like the record isn't being
saved... but you _should_ get a prompt to discard or save. You
might double check your pop-up parameters, failing that, try
substituting a choose for the pop-up.
One other idea. I recently wrote a PO system where the Vendor
record looked like a PO. We called it a template. All the standard
PO header info _is_ the vendor record, and the detail region is used
to generate a the actual PO (there is a 'Make PO' button).
When an order is going to be placed the operator selects the
Vendor from a choose. The record presented to him is a duplicate
of the last PO to the Vendor. Most often he clicks 'Make PO' w/o
doing anything else. The eep calculates the next PO# /Date and
inserts the required info into the PO tables. It's also handy if
something has changed regarding the Vendor or PO terms since
he doesn't need to goto a separate form.
I've thought the same thing would be handy in some order entry
systems where the orders tend to be repetitious, or the customer
often wants to know what they ordered "last time".
