Hi manish,

i think it is possible call the override method “CLOSE”…it will check before closeing form…

I hope this is some more helpful to you…

If you wanted to check something before closing the form, you could use canClose() method. Don’t also forget that you have several ways of closing a form, some of them treated as cancellation.

But what you seem to want is really conditional _saving_ of a record, it’s too late when the form is closing. FormDataSource’s validateWrite() is the right method to modify.
