.DataEntry

[Pauldohert]

Does using .Dataentry with .allowedits on a form still provide the benefits of .dataentry ie access does not return record(s) to populate the form?


Thanks

Thanks Pat -

I open my form two ways - to edit a record and to add a record

to edit - I just allowedits

to add - I need allowadditions (plus dataentry)

if however I need to populate a field with code - i have to set .allowedits true also.

(this seemed odd to me as I do not need to set .allowedits to populate the fields manually)

Thankyou!

Thanks Pat -

I was just wondering why - I needed the .allowedits to yes when what I am really doing is adding a record.

.dataentry set to yes and allowadditions set to no. I'm guessing the form would open with no controls showing.

True

Thanks again

Thats what I assumed - which is why I asked the question - but it won't work unless I also add .allowedits (for populating a text box using code on the open event) ???

Thanks Paul

 

[Pauldohert]

.DataEntry = True
.AllowAdditions = True
.AllowEdits = True
!kReferralID = gLong

This is basically all I am doing in the open event - to add a new record - it won't work unless I also allow edits.

The reasons probably obvious - it usually is - but I can't see it!
