Doug,
I forgot about that one. That is what happens when you get old and don't do much coding anymore. Thanks and take care, Howard From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:arslist@ARSLIST.ORG] On Behalf Of Mueller, Doug Sent: Monday, August 12, 2013 4:32 PM To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG Subject: Re: Using an escalation to kick off an event?? ** Howard, As LJ and others have described, one way is to have a form that has a single record and just run the escalation on it. You can push to any form so escalate on the dummy form and push wherever you want your new record. OR Set the qualification to something like 1=0 which will match nothing (and is efficient in all DBs - yes, Oracle has fixed their table scan issue on this) and put your logic in the ELSE branch of the escalation which fires when NOTHING matches the escalation condition. So, two ways to get what you need.

Have your Escalation fire on form Y, matching on that record, and have the action be a push to form X.

I need to insert a record into a form (lets call is X) to kick off an event. The problem is that this form X is somewhat a busy one so if I do any qualifications, (for example if the subject like "%RED%") and if no request match create a new request, if any match take no action, I get one new record for each record that does not match (and a number will not). Too bad I cannot use my qualification to add a record (Then I would put in a fake record). What I want to do is just create one record, into this form once a day. So any ideas? <http://www.coxenterprises.com/> Error! Filename not specified.
