Bonus TIPS for Successful Posting

Try a Search First
It is highly recommended that a Search be done on your topic before posting, as many questions have been answered in prior posts. As with any search engine, the shorter the search term, the more "hits" will be returned, but the more specific the search term is, the greater the relevance of those "hits". Searching for "table" might well return every message on the board while "tablesum" would greatly restrict the number of messages returned.

When you do post
First, make sure you are posting your question in the correct forum. For example, if you post an issue regarding Desktop applications on the Mobile & Browser Applications board , not only will your question not be seen by the appropriate audience, it may also be removed or relocated.

The more detail you provide about your problem or question, the more likely someone is to understand your request and be able to help. A sample database with a minimum of records (and its support files, zipped together) will make it much easier to diagnose issues with your application. Screen shots of error messages are especially helpful.

When explaining how to reproduce your problem, please be as detailed as possible. Describe every step, click-by-click and keypress-by-keypress. Otherwise when others try to duplicate your problem, they may do something slightly different and end up with different results.

A note about attachments
You may only attach one file to each message. Attachment file size is limited to 2MB. If you need to include several files, you may do so by zipping them into a single archive.

If you forgot to attach your files to your post, please do NOT create a new thread. Instead, reply to your original message and attach the file there.

When attaching screen shots, it is best to attach an image file (.BMP, .JPG, .GIF, .PNG, etc.) or a zip file of several images, as opposed to a Word document containing the screen shots. Because Word documents are prone to viruses, many message board users will not open your Word file, therefore limiting their ability to help you.

Similarly, if you are uploading a zipped archive, you should simply create a .ZIP file and not a self-extracting .EXE as many users will not run your EXE file.

    Code:
    topparent.Commit()
    'parentform.Close()
    '
    'form.view("mail_info")
    parentform.New_Record()
    parentform:record_entered.value=date() ' since this field is hidden on the form, you could also accomplish this with a field rule default value.
    Interesting this works for me. So what build of Alpha are you using and what operating system do you have?

      Re: parentform.commit() weird problem

      Tried your suggested code but my problem remains!

      My OS is Windows 10. Alpha Five is build 3359. There was a later build but when I installed it some code would not work so I went back to the previous build. It has been some time ago so I don't remember what the problem was. Until now I have never had any problems. I am using Alpha Five 10 in compatability mode.

        I run 4369 - 3712 on windows 7 compatibility on windows 10 and the code runs fine. That has been a very stable release.

        You may want to review the other code that gave you problems and fix it.

          My OS is Win10 and I opened the file in v11 without any incident or need to double click. Also after saving the new record, a simple topparent.new_record() worked fine without having to close and reopen the form.

            I was having a similar problem. I have a form with an embedded browse, on the form are buttons to enter records into the child table. I was using "commit()" to save the record. I would have to click on the button twice for the new record to be saved. I changed "commit()" to "enter_end()". The buttons now work with one click.

              Can you show a little more of your code and where it is located?

                Re: parentform.commit() weird problem

                Each button has its own data for the field "action". Here is the code for one of the buttons:

                browse1.activate()
                :payments:tables:custrec.enter_begin(Honor_Field_Rules)
                :payments:tables:custrec.action = "17 PROPOSAL RET"
                :payments:tables:custrec.date = date()
                :payments:tables:custrec.enter_end()
                Parentform.resynch()

                When the button is pushed the script enters into the child table; "17 PROPOSAL RET" in the field "action" and the system date into the field date. The record is then saved. When I was using "commit()" instead of "enter_end" the button would enter the text and date but it wouldn't save. If I closed the form after pushing the button I would get a prompt do I want to save entry in progress. If I clicked on the button twice it would save the record.
