Pre-insert Validation property

This is where you specify the action(s) that must be executed when an end user begins to insert a new record. This occurs if, after typing information in an empty record, the end user chooses Store from the Record menu, moves the cursor to another record, chooses an option from the Query menu, or closes the window and answers Yes to the question "Save data manipulations?".

Using this property enables you to validate that the data can be inserted. If one of the actions associated with the Pre-insert Validation property calls the ErrorRaise() action, then the insert is not executed. For more information, refer to "Data Validation Failure" .

For more information on when this property is handled relative to other similar properties, please refer to the help index entries on Events.
