==== Prompt Validation Problems (AREV Specific) ====

I'm having some prompt validation problems on a window again.



I'm running ARev 3.02.  What happens is this:  When a value is entered in field A, I validate the data.  If it meets certain criteria, then I set field B to required.  This works flawlessly.  If I try to move past field B, I get a message that says it is required.



However, while the cursor is still in field B, if I press the  key to save the record, the window processor ignores the fact that I have set this field to required and allows the record to be saved.



At first I thought the problem is that the field was not being placed in the required prompts common variable, so I added that but no joy.



There is a presave process on the window, but I cannot see anything in there that would cause prompt validation to be skipped.



Any ideas?

<QUOTE>I had this problem in v2.0x, it has to do with how the windows.common is handled in memory.



Andrew gave me a solution, which I don't remember and I don't have the code handy so you'll have to wait for the Sprezzies to show why they're the "World Leaders".

<QUOTE>Warren,



Thanks for the info, but I think I just fixed it.



Apparently, if you take to modifying the Required attribute of a prompt yourself, you are obligated to update _everything_ yourself.  I was update Req.Fields but not Req.Cnt.  Everywhere I updated Req.Fields I added the code to recalculate Req.Cnt.  It now appears to be working.



Ah, the joys of behind the scenes monkeying.

<QUOTE>What window/template record does CHANGE_TYPE modify, since the passed parameters do not include a window/template record id? When do you call it?



Thanks.
