VBA - change Vendor Lookup

[dbigelow]

I have never used the VBA Modifier function:

My client would like to change the default sort setting in the Vendor lookup window from Vendor ID to Vendor Name. I have changed using the additional sorts feature but it always resets after you close the window. I suspect the code is run every time you open the lookup window thus reseting the sort. She would also like some custom Payment terms which you are not able to create with the base options in GP

Thank you

Does the customer have Modifier/VBA registered?

It is fairly easier to click on the Vendor Name button using the AfterWindowOpen event.

Changing Payment terms would probably need a Dexterity Customisation.

Thank you,

Ok, I have it working for you. Because the window opens and then is refreshed, the Window_AfterOpen event fires too early. So the following uses the focus event to handle the timing issue.

Add the lookup window to VBA, add the fields Vendor Name button and the Find string to VBA and use the code below:


Option Explicit
Dim OpenFlag As Boolean

Private Sub ASILUFindString_AfterGotFocus()
If OpenFlag Then
OpenFlag = False
VendorName = 1
End If
End Sub

Private Sub Window_AfterOpen()
OpenFlag = True
End Sub


Have fun.

Hi,

Another option you could look at is SmartFill from Rockton Software. This allows you to do the lookup almost anyway you choose (even Vendor Phone Number or Contact). And it would work with Accounts, Customers, Employee IDs,etc. The cost of the software is probably about the same as the cost to do your VBA customization on one window. It works with dexterity based 3rd party products and customizations. There is a flash demo at

Take a look and if you are interested let them know you found out about it here.
