Browse control does not seem to handle new records very well.
I have a simple table with two character fields
I make a form, put a browse control on it, link to the two character fields
I can view the form, I can add records by clicking on the bottom row entering data, or enter data hit return or tab, it goes to the next field, if its at the bottom it makes a new record.... AWESOME
NOW the problems start....
I now make a predefined button for NEW RECORD.
I test it.
I hit new record button, it makes a new line in the browse control. puts the cursor there and I start typing. nifty...... NOT
IF I happen to have the cursor in the browse control on a record. any record.
Then click the NEW record.
it makes the new line, puts the cursor there
I enter text.....
I hit tab... the text goes away!!!!!
I try again, I hit enter.... the test goes away!!!!!
I try again, this time i try to use the mouse to click out, "text goes away"
this is rather bad!!!!
NOW, why they heck would I need a stupid button, when you just click on the bottom to add records....
because I have stupid users!!! if they do NOT have a button with BIG GIANT letters that says,, ADD RECORD!!!!! I will get 20 calls a week... "how do I add a record!!!" even if I put the directions on the damned form itself!!!!!
If I make a button, only about 5 people a week will call....
HONEST!!!
This is exactly what will happen!!!!
So how does one make the browse contol play nicely!!!
