- There IS a way to use MODIFY SELECTION to have a list of records from one
- file and programmatically jump to another file, it just gets a little messy
- to implement first/prev/next/last buttons in the target file.
-
- Basically, you have a BLANK input layout in the list file, with a proc
- something like:
-
- if (Before)
- lookup the [Projects] file based on this [Customer]
- call an edit procedure that does a MODIFY RECORD([Customer])
- CANCEL
- end if
-
- The CANCEL is so the current blank input layou exits before it is shown.
