------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fri Mar 3 06:42:46 -0800 2006 ------- Base and Forms are too conservative in protecting against unintentional updates to tables or views where Base is not provided with a recognisable 'bookmark' field. This is a request to make this protection optional, leaving the current protection as default, but to provide a switch, or switches, so that more experienced designers can make use of the mechanisms at the DBMS level to ensure updates operate correctly. This option might be made available on a per form or subform basis. Alternatively or inclusively, it might be an option at the data source definition level (if that is feasible). The later makes sense as it explicitly ties the chosen behaviour to a specific DBMS generally. The potential difficulty with this is that one could change the option within the data source and all applications that use it could inherit the changed behaviour. A very useful solution could be achieved if it was a requirement to set an option at BOTH the data source AND the form level. Thus an administrator might have control over the data source definition option, and thus whether any applications can turn this protection off, while general users would have control over the per form option. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
