This is a a File containing a simple and quickly designed 4th Dimension Database Copying some of the on screen button commands that Omnis 3+ provides such as : Find,Next,Previous,Delete,OK and Cancel. I have found it useful because the first task I have used 4th Dimension for is to replicate existing Omnis 3 Databases.
Most of what is used here is contained in the Tech Note #3 “Using Layout Buttons”. Questions and Comments to Eric Hall 71340,1255.
You will note that the Main Global Procedure is named Startup so to Auto Execute upon Startup. The Records Included are sorted by the Indexed field (Date) so to always display with the last date first. The start up procedure (“Startup”) must be rerun manually from the output layout if you wish to step thru the records sequentially again. Once you do a “Find” (Actually a search) you will be returned to the Output Layout. Ihaven’t Figured out a way to do Search for a specific record and then be able to use the next and previous buttons to step thru again. The current selection becomes a single record and if you use the “All Records” command you go back to the first record. But anyway hope it helps.. Eric Hall
