Gary,

There's a new business object method in the upcoming version of the Framework called "IsNew()" that would do the trick for you. For now, you can add a temporary IsNew() method to your version of KBizObj that includes the code listed below. You can call this business object method to determine if the current record is new, or edited.

Although what I've listed below isn't really the Framework code in the upcoming version, it will work fine for now...and when you get the new version your calls to the new method will continue to work.

Here's the code:

LOCAL lcGetFldState, lcAlias

lcAlias = This.GetAlias()

IF EMPTY(lcAlias) OR !USED(lcAlias) OR ISNULL(lcGetFldState)
RETURN .F.
ENDIF

lcGetFldState = GETFLDSTATE(-1, lcAlias)
RETURN ("3" $ lcGetFldState OR "4" $ lcGetFldState)
