Need a Message but not an Error Message in a Grid

**iviowa** · 07-31-2008, 08:14 PM

I know I can add an error message to an AfterUpdateRecord event by:

Code:

Result.Cancel = .t.
Result.ErrorHTML = "My message goes here."

How can I add a message without Canceling the event. I want the record to be submitted and saved but then display a message at that top of the grid that says "We couldn't accept your choice but we saved your record now do this...".

Why not use THAT grid to save the record, and then go to another pgae (with a grid) that displays your message, and could even allow more data input at that point.

If you can get the fact that there was an error into a session variable,
then you can put a conditional message at the top of the page.

Say, for example, your session variable is session.is_error, and you set it = "Yes" when there is an error. Then, in the <head> section of the page, put
Dim msg as c
msg="Enter your information below" (or some such info message)
if eval_valid("session.is_error")
if session.is_error="Yes"
msg="There was an error...do such and such"
end if
end if

Then, down in the <body>, above the grid, put
<p><%a5 ?msg %></p>
