Subject: ISTAT Function
Hello everyone:
I've been doing some testing with the ISTAT function and here is what I have
found. I first created a form connected to a table called MainMenu. I locate
a field from the MainMenu table on the form and a variable as well. I set up
an Exit.eep that puts the value of ISTAT('FORM_DIRTY_FLAG')) into another
variable.
When I click on the exit button it runs the exit.eep and sets the variable
eqaual to he value of ISTAT. If I change the actual field associated with
the MainMenu table the value for ISTAT changes properly. If I change the
value of the variable I've place on the form the value of ISTAT does not
change.
It appears that the conclusion is ISTAT works as long as it is an actual
column in a table that changes. If you use a form comprised of nothing other
than variables it does not.
Can anyone verify this? Thanks
