And what if the user simply hits Enter or Return (on numeric fields)?
Wouldn't that commit the record as well?
Exactly! FileMaker has fallen short once again with another
potentially useful feature. A simple "Commit Record/Request via
calculation" would of been nice.
If this is hugely important to you, you could define a TEMP DATA
ENTRY table (with Identical fields using COPY TABLE) for each TABLE
and then leave that to save automatically. Then script the creation
of the new record (with commit) in the REAL Table upon them clicking
a provided button. Editing the record would involve synchronization
between the TEMP and REAL tables. Yet more back flips... but why
should we expect anything less ;-)
My 2 cents ;-)
