when you delete a record in a form the system auto sends IS IT OK message … how can I turn that off. There are a couple where I want to put up my own message … then delete

Just to confirm, you simply want the behavior to stay the same but you want your own message instead of the default one?

right … it is so i can trap the delete process.

Hi Dave,

You should be able to override the message in the SYSMSG event. You need an event script (or a QuickEvent that Has Priority set) that:

[list=1]

Intercepts the SYSMSG_DELETEWARN$ msgCode,

Puts up your message and then,

Returns FALSE$

[/list]

E.g.

   $insert ps_Equates



   begin case

      case ( msgCode == SYSMSG_DELETEWARN$ )

         call msg( @window, "MYDELETEMESSAGE" )

         return FALSE$



   end case



return TRUE$

(If you wanted to stop the delete operation then you would set the CancelFlag argument to TRUE$ before returning)
