So, I have the same to databases, “New AP Customer List” and “New AP Purchases”, and they are related to each other. Yes, after my last embarrassing mistake, I have checked that. Both DBs have the following first 4 fields:
“FirstName”
“LastName”
“Company”
“CombinedName”
“CombinedName” is calculated to be:
?((FirstName="") AND (LastName=""),Company,FirstName+" "+LastName)
When entering data in “New AP Purchases” entering the first 3 fields goes smoothly and combined name gets filled in as I tab to it. When I tab out of the “CombinedName” field I want to check if that combined name value is in the “New AP Customer List”. The Code entry for the “CombinedName” field is:
posttorelated " New AP Customer List",“APPEND”,“yes”
When I tab out of the “CombinedName” field I get the following Alert:
If I were to get that to work I would need to specify a form to go to enter remaining data in the customer list, but I’ll settle, for now, getting kicked into the customer list for a new customer entry.
Maybe I should be doing something else like a lookup function. Somebody want to point me in the correct direction?
