Detect Form Changes

[DrDave6]

I have a submit button in a form and when the user clicks it, I want to check to see if they changed anything on the form. If they did, I will advise them to save the form before submitting.

How would I determine if anything changed?

Thanks for the suggestions....

There is a flag set by Acrobat that tells it when something has changed (so it knows to bring up the SaveAs dialog when you close the doc). You can check the status of this flag yourself.

event.target.dirty

It will return a true value if soemthing has changed and a false value if nothing has changed.

Just learning.....

What does the syntax look like for this?

if event.target.dirty = .t.

{

     do something

{

If (event.target.dirty == true){

app.alert("You have made changes to your doc .....make sure you save");

}
