Code Snippet

Function BeforeDelete

Rem Deleting a record has the following program flow:

Rem 1. The data entry form asks the user for permission to delete the record(s)

RemIf permission is granted, the flow wil continue. If it is denied

Remthe delete will be aborted.

Rem 2. This script-function is called. If the result of the function is TRUE,

Remthe flow wil continue.

RemIf it is FALSE, the delete operation will be aborted, without a

Remmessage to the user (so make sure to do it yourself in the script-function)

Rem 3. Finally the program checks if the record can be

Remdeleted by using business logic inside the data entry form, so this

Remcan still result in the abortion of the delete

Rem 4. The database server is given the command to delete the record

MsgBox "BeforeDelete"

BeforeDelete = True

End Function
