This behavior is driving me crazy!
I have a data access page with an onload event for the window. All I want to do is go to a new record, update a date field with today's date and save the record. Here is the code:
<SCRIPT language=vbscript event=onload for=window>
<!--
window.MSODSC.CurrentSection.DataPage.NewRecord
request_date.value=DateValue(Now)
MSODSC.DataPages(0).Save()
-->
</SCRIPT>
When I load the page, I can see the date pop into the request_date field, but then it disappears. I made sure the value update code works by putting it on a different object's click event. The problem is when it's in the onload event for the window.
Is there something I'm missing about this event that prevents this from working? Thanks!
