Create variables, get the data from the record and table, populate the variables and display them.

Any sample code? because i did this

used are variable and it is displaying the customer name, but when i go to the next line to display another customer name, it is displayed but the previous one disappear. I don’t want them to disappear, i want them to stay.
here is the code i used


Form - OnAfterGetRecord()
Customer.GET(CustomerNo);
CustomerName := (Customer.Name);

Thanks

I haven’t got NAV installed on this computer but… did you try with changing form properties?.. for example “ModifyAllowed” :wink:

I just tested this using the sales header form as follows:
(Create a Dimension “TEMP”)
CommandButton “Add Record”

T349.SETRANGE(“Dimension Code”,‘TEMP’);
T349.SETFILTER(Code, ‘%1’, “Sell-to Customer No.”);
IF NOT T349.FIND(’-’) THEN BEGIN
T349.INIT;
T349.“Dimension Code” := ‘TEMP’;
T349.Code := “Sell-to Customer No.”;
T349.Name := “Sell-to Customer Name”;
T349.INSERT;
END;

Create a new form based on the Dimension Value table, SORTING(Dimension Code,Code) WHERE(Dimension Code=CONST(TEMP)) and create a CommandButton “Clear Records”

T349.SETRANGE(“Dimension Code”,‘TEMP’);
IF T349.FIND(’-’) THEN BEGIN
WITH T349 DO
REPEAT
T349.DELETE;
UNTIL T349.NEXT = 0;
END;

Display the new form and you can select each record as you need.
Not automatic but unless I know more of what you are trying to do this may help.
