PostSave Event in PO Receiving Screen

[Rob7]

In all of the Flex projects I have ever written, I have never needed to use this event, and it looks to me like it doesn't work now that I need it. The OnSave event is too early to use for some backend processing and I need to use the PostSave event. Has anyone got any examples of how this works? The help files in the object browser are non-exisistant.

Thanks.

I've tried to use it in MRP and MS and it doesn't work there either. Object Help? They laid that guy off and never rehired.

According to Macola help, it is non-funtional although it is visible. What a pain in the ass.

I have a major rant posted on this forum on the subject, so I know how you feel.
Here's a trick: When you first start the project, open the macForm in Code Window and then insert every event procedure for the form wih a STOP statement as the only line of code. Save it and then run the screen and do all the stuff a user would normally do. It will stop on whatever event is actually enabled for the screen. Put a comment in those and then delete the STOP. When your done, you'll see all the procs that are just BS because they will still be there with the STOP statement still there. You will find as I have, that only a couple of events actually really work. Why are the rest of them even there? It's like discovering your being conned. Whats up with these guys ? Did they think they were going to make friends doing this?

Well, I will tell you that I am not happy with the way Flex works. I spoke with a former Macola mangement person who had a lot to do with the original development of the Macola code and in discussing this particular project finally said that I would have to use user forms and "work files". The code stops running between events and you loose the ability to hold variables. What I do is just put stuff out to a flat file, and pick it back up when I need it. This really is not so much about skill as a programmer but skill in finding work arounds. I would like to see how VBA is integrated with some of the other mid-market ERP packages.
