Title:
The m. or tableUpdate() approach
I would like to know what is people using and why when designing forms:
1. The m. approach: in which all textBoxes have memory variables you get with a SCATTER MEMVAR, and when you save changes you make a GATHER MEMVAR.
2. The new tableUpdate() approach: in which you are constantly reading the table itself in the textBoxes, and make a tableUpdate() or tableRevert() when making changes.
I think the second approach is more professional and flexible, due to buffering capabilities and modes. The problem is that when I add-change a record in some tables, I check a lot of information and I have to go through the table several times. If I do so, I loose some of the advantages of buffering when set to record-buffering.
Comments and experiences are more than welcome.
Regards,
Javier Borrajo.
