I'm jumping in here without seeing your initial post so this may be
wide of the mark. I code an Apply button in my apps as a way to save the
record and enable the child record tabs (i.e., the child tabs are disabled
until the parent is saved). I am using C4 ABC. Here's the code in the Apply
button's Accept embed:
CASE Self.Request
OF ChangeRecord
Access:business.Update()
OF InsertRecord
IF NOT Access:Business.Insert()
Self.Request = ChangeRecord
DO EnableChildren
ELSE
CYCLE
END
END
SELF.Saved = SELF.Primary.Me.SaveBuffer()
?btApply{Prop:Disable}=True
I renable btApply button if a field value in the primary record is changed.
