Set reverse view to "Yes" by default in OE

[stranger26]

Hello everyone!

First of all I'd like to say that this is a great resource for anyone having anything to do with Macola.
I have resolved numerous issues thanks to you and I certainly appreciate your time and effort.

We're using Macola Progression 7.7.600 SQL.
There is an option on Order Entry View By Item and Order History View By Item screens to display information in reverse order.
You can do so by checking the box called "Reverse View?". Now, for the life of me I can't understand why you wouldn't want to see most recent orders first to begin with, but that's a whole other topic for discussion...

Does anyone know how I can view orders listed in "reverse" order by default?
I have tried changing the default value for the check box to "Y" in screen designer, but that didn't seem to make any difference.

Any input would be greatly appreciated.

I agree with you, screen designer had no effect at all. This should be reported to Exact as a bug.

Do you own Flexibility? You could write a simple script to turn this on when the screen opens:

Private Sub ItemNo_GotFocus()
    ReverseView.Checked = True
End Sub

Thank you for the response, dgillz.
Unfortunately, we do not own Flexibility
I guess we're out of luck?
