Delete button

Use a Delete button in combination with a Save and Clear button. A delete operation should clear the window after the user deletes a record, but should not close the window. The operation should clear the window, then place the focus on the first field in the tab sequence.

• Use the err() function to trap table operation errors that may occur during the delete operation. This is extremely important in multiuser environments.
• Delete record notes you’ve assigned to a new, unsaved record using the Delete_Record_Note procedure available in Microsoft Dynamics GP.
• An access key of alt+d should be used to delete a record using the keyboard.
• Enable the Delete button only when the user displays an existing record. Do not enable the Delete button when the user creates a new record.

Example 3: Delete button change script

The following example displays an ask() message, allowing the user to cancel the delete operation. If the user chooses to delete, the record is removed, along with its corresponding note record using the Delete_Record_Note procedure:

if ask("Delete this lead record?", "Delete", "Cancel", "") = ASKBUTTON1 then
	remove table IG_Leads_MSTR;
	if err() = OKAY then
		call Delete_Record_Note, 'Note Index';
		restart form;
	elseif err() = LOCKED then
		warning "This lead record is already locked. Changes won't be saved.";
	else
		restart form;
	end if;
end if;
