ABC: Delaying the PrimeAutoInc method 1998-07-10 -- Nik Johnson Newsgroups: topspeed.products.c4 > I want to delay the PrimeAutoInc method in a form. This method must be > called just before insertion. A part of the autoinc key is user > dependent. You need to modify the .Ask method for the browse. Copy the code for BrowseClass.Ask from ABBROWSE.CLW and modify it to eliminate SELF.PrimeRecord. This will kill the autoincrementing. If you want to do this often, you may want to derive your own BrowseClass, adding a switch for killing the autoincrement. When you go to save the record, the .Insert method for the file manager should detect that autoincrementing (a) is required and (b) has not been done. It will then autoincrement without losing your entered data. Printed May 4, 2024, 2:49 pm This article has been viewed/printed 35116 times.
