Re: Table Loop Selected Rows Only gets unselected ro w, sometimes
Dwayne, If you are looking to have the first row NOT selected on form open, check the properties of the table field, there is an option to not have anything selected, the default behavior however is to have the first row selected. -Original Message- From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:arsl...@arslist.org] On Behalf Of Dwayne Martin Sent: Monday, February 23, 2009 9:36 AM To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG Subject: Table Loop Selected Rows Only gets unselected row, sometimes Dear List, This is complicated so please bear with me. I have a form that contains a table of entries from another form. On the main form is a button, that calls an outer active link, that calls a guide, that calls an inner active link, that processes the table. The guide is set to Table Loop Selected Rows Only. (The inner link writes a column value into a field, which is how you know it has processed the row.) Because the first row in the table is automatically selected, I have an active link that runs on display that sets the table value to 0. When the form displays you can see the table opening up with the top row selected, and then getting de-selected. Once the main form is displayed I click the button and the inner link processes the first table row, even tho it has been de-selected. If I click the button again it does not process the row a second time. If I trigger an error message before clicking the button the inner link does not process the first table row. It seems like the guide doesn't know that the table row is unselected, until an active link runs in addition to the one that set the table to 0. If I have the two links display the value of the table, they both say it is 0, even as the inner link is processing the row. I tried running a second table refresh after setting the table to 0 and that seems to have fixed the problem, but I am still puzzled by what is going on. Is this a bug, or am I not understanding something?
