I am really at my wits end with the problems referred to in my previous topic "bug report". I sent a bug report twice to Alpha about this problem and have not even had an acknowledgment from them. If you read the topic you will see that other people are having similar problems as me.
The application is based on the Alphasports template and the problems are in the invoice form which is based on the set in alphasports with �Invoice_header� and an embedded browse �Invoice_items�. The autoincrement for new record is based on Dr Peter Wayne�s autoincrement script. Because when I used the autoincrement in field rules if two operaters were entering new records the invoice items from the other operator would appear on their screen.
One of the suggestions from the bug report topic was that when You go to new record you save the invoice header with the new invoice number and go into change mode to complete the invoice, I have implemented that but it still has not solved the problems.
The problems are the following:-
1) If you need to find an invoice to make a change or addition to the invoice items you then cannot navigate backwards or forward using the navigation buttons , you have to close the form and reopen to navigate.
2) When you need to add new items to an existing invoice when you save that item the invoice header jumps to the next invoice so you end up adding the items to the wrong invoice.
3) Also I have a save button on the bottom of the form if you click on thet after making changes it jumps to the next invoice. That button also has a script to save the invoice suptotal and total calculated fields into a normal field.
All these problems do not happen if you use the system as a single user only on the network with more than one operator working.
If anyone knows a different way to solve this problem I would appreciate an answer.
Kind regards
David
