loop through all controls on a form
Mubeezi Micah 

13 years ago
Dear Richard,

I would like to loop through all the controls on a form and in case any of the form control values has changed [read edited], i set the HasChanged Value to True or False.
I tried the Form OnDirty/BeforeUpdate event but they have been unreliable i would say. Sometimes, they work, sometimes, they dont. Maybe i should try both events concurently :)

Is there another option that i could use?

Thank you again!

MICAH


Reply from Richard Rost:

You just want to know if the record has ANY changes to ANY field? The OnDirty event for the FORM should work reliably. The only time it would be wrong would be if someone ESC/cancelled editing the record... in which case you would just get a false-positive on whether the record had been edited or not. Not really a big deal if all you're doing it synching records.
