Assuming you have created a form procedure for the record you wish to update,
you must set the GlobalRequest to InsertRecord immediately before the form is
called. And you must prime the record by doing Access:FileName.PrimeRecord(),
this method returns 0, or level:benign if successful. So you can do something
like this:
If Not Access:MyFile.PrimeRecord() !! Prime the record
GlobalRequest = InsertRecord
Update:Myfile !! < call the update proc
If GlobalResponse = RequestCancelled
Access:MyFile.CancelAutoInc() !! Call this if you have an auto-increment key
End
Clear(GlobalResponse)
End
