Errors while using forms
Errors that occur while using forms (such as the Customer Form) are trapped by SatTracker. When an error occurs, the system error message is replaced with one from SatTracker. The FormError table contains the form, the error number, and the error message. If a predefined error message does not exist in the table, SatTracker displays this form:
If you press 'yes', the FormErrorForm is displayed:
The location of the error, the error number, and the system error message are automatically added to a new record. You can edit the error message to make it more user friendly. You can also bring up this form from the Maintenance Menu. This allows you to change any existing error messages.
Typical errors that are trapped are:
- Invalid field contents, like typing letters into a numeric field.
- Attempting to edit a record that is currently locked by someone else.
- The unspeakable; bugs in SatTracker.
Use the navigation buttons at the bottom of the form to move from record to record, or to the first or last record. You can press Control F to find information. Press the close button on the upper right of the form (the 'x') to close this form.
Form Name: The name of the form in which the error occurred.
Control Name: The name of the control within the form form in which the error occurred.
ErrorNumber: The system error number.
Error Message: The error message that is displayed for an error in the specified form, control, and error number. This error message may be edited.
