Delete record?
- Thread starter august
- Start date
Nice question. Did you read a help on DELETE command?
I usually set 3-d buffering mode for table, than Delete, than taleupdate(). Ouh, yes, always ask user for confirmation to delete. [sig]<p>Volodymyr Grynchyshyn<br><a href=mailto:vgryn@softserve.lviv.ua>vgryn@softserve.lviv.ua</a><br>[/sig]

August, I'm going to try to read between the lines of your question (which is especially difficult, since your question is only one line), and guess that you mean: how can I delete a record in shared mode and have it disappear?
When a table is opened in shared mode, you cannot PACK it, and therefore records marked for deletion may still appear...unless you issue the command SET DELETED ON. [sig]<p>Robert Bradley<br><a href=mailto: > </a><br><a href= - Visual FoxPro Development</a><br> [/sig]

in your set of 'set commands' - in the place where you set
SET TALK OFF
SET MULTILOCKS ON
..
etc..
add the following set command
SET DELETED ON
Whenever you delete a record, the deleted record is not displayed with this SET DELETED ON. However, when you stay on a record and DELETE the record, the record pointer stays on that deleted record. So to enable the disapperance of the record, it is ideal to make a SKIP or SKIP -1 suitably depending on if you stay in the BOF() or EOF()... so to code this in the event deleteing the record.. put the code..
SKIP
IF EOF()
SKIP -1
ENDIF
ThisForm.MyGrid.REFRESH()
This will delete the record and remove it from the display.
All the TABLEUPDATE etc to be done as it shall be done. ramani :-9
