Browse, Form, SubForm

Description

The form’s (or browse’s) onAppend event is used mainly for form-based data handling with tables in work areas. It also fires when the onAppend event of the form’s primary rowset fires.

Use onAppend to make your application respond each time the user adds a record. onAppend fires after the new record is saved. If the record is saved because the user navigated to another record, onAppend fires after arriving at the other record, before onNavigate.

onAppend will not work unless the form is open and has controls dataLinked to fields. For example, if you USE a table, create and open an empty Form, assign an onAppend event handler, and APPEND BLANK, the onAppend will not fire simply because the form is open.
