The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.
If you know of an easy to use, open source, search engine ... please contact support@midrange.com.
I use either of 2 solutions.
For a couple or so editable fields I keep those field's original values
as hidden fields in the subfile. The processing subroutine includes a
loop for the subfile where it check for changed value(s) and does a
normal update routine. This fits nearly all scenarios for me as I keep
subfiles limited in editable content. And yes, adding a processing
subroutine does add code.
The other solution, for more involved edits, is a separate editing
program outside the subfile program. Adding a new customer, for
instance, is not suited to subfiles. Make one program with all the
editing, validations, warnings, etc. in one place and let subfiles
access it. Let the deletions and additions happen there.

Interesting. Using SQL, I assume? How do you handle record locking when loading a record for editing into a "details-screen"? Or do you count that part outside of your load-all? If you do, essentially stuffing a loop in 235 lines isn't too hard, I assume.;-)
