DLG_REPORTS Dialog Component

Purpose

The DLG_REPORTS dialog component selects an administrative report to run. The options are:

Customer List
Customer Summary List
Invoice
Product List
Vendor List

Description

The DLG_REPORTS dialog component dynamically populates the radio button selections from the web_reports table. While the list displays the rpt_name field, the user's selection returns the rpt_id field. Using a table lookup like this makes it possible to add reports to the application later, without having to change the dialog component. The ASWPRINTRPT.A5W page contains the code that runs the selected report.

Event Code

The Validate event code tests to see if the report control (the radio buttons) is missing a user selection. If so, the script cancels the submit action and displays an error message.

if CurrentForm.Controls.report =""

CurrentForm.Has_Error =.T.

CurrentForm.Error_Message = " Select a Report to Print"

end if
