====== RECORD property ======


 
==== Applies To ====
 
Window.
 
==== Description ====
 
When set, allows you to override the default @RECORD associated with the current window. Keep in mind that while you can update @RECORD programmatically using this property, the database associated controls in the window will not be updated.
 
==== Usage ====
 
//currrec// = **Get_Property**(//windowname//, "**RECORD**")
//prevrec// = **Set_Property**(//windowname//, "**RECORD**", //newrec//)
 
==== Remarks ====
 
A valid use for this property is when an event or stored procedure alters the values of controls, and this is intended to be reflected in the contents of @RECORD associated with the form, for purposes of symbolic calculation. As previously mentioned, the contents of @RECORD will not be used at [[write_event|WRITE]] time. Instead the form I/O logic extracts the values from the controls themselves to output to the database. @RECORD is a secondary and possibly partial (in the case of multi-table forms) representation of the contents of the controls.
