When I have added a new record to my data base it always tells me
I need to conform by adding the record or saying no and not
adding it. Unless I am missing something about what your are
trying to do.

Subject: [Braillenote] Database/KeyBase document field changes -
It isn'teasy
Hi,
Perhaps the point was slightly missed.
I have just used a database with a document field, to test this.
Selected an existing record, entered the document field, added
another line to it, <space>e to exit that field and the record.
No where in that lot was I told I had made changes.
I was in effect accessing the record in "read" mode, because I
used lookup record.
I did not use <backspace>c to ask for changes.
It would be slightly harder to deal with the document field as
KeyBase is probably calling on KeyWord to deal with that type of
field.
It should be quite possible though, after all KeyWord will tell
you changes have been made to files in certain circumstances.
KeyBase could possibly be enhanced to use BookReader when you
enter a document field, unless you have used <backspace>c while
viewing the record, then it could use KeyWord.
I don't know how many people do make use of this current feature.
Nothing is in the documentation about it as far as I know, so HW
can, (within reason), treat this different field as they like.
It would be a better fit of database and transaction concepts to
change this current behaviour.
Regards,
Steve.

Subject: [Braillenote] It isn't easy
Hello Listers,
Recently I reported a little bug in Keybase to Humanware support.
their response was not what I expected. I was left a little
bewildered. Please read below.
I have changed the order of the messages, to make it easier for
you to read, but not the content:

Hello support,
If you modify a "document" field in a database, any changes are
made
without need to chord backspace c and without the usual "confirm
changes?" prompt.
Dave.

Hello Dave:
Yes, you have to press backspace with c, make your changes, exit,
and
answer y for yes to confirm changes.
