How to check the form that is changing the value in the table?

Question

I have a Form on Design's Form I have a StringEdit. This StringEdit represents a field on myTable.

I want to create in MyTable in modifiedField method a my rule:

when I modified this StringEdit copy this value on another Field in the same Table.

I used this code :

case fieldNum (MyTable, MyFiledSringEdit) :
if (caller.args().name() == formStr (myFormName) )
this.myFieldToChange= this.MyFiledSringEdit;
break;

Without if (caller.args().name() == formStr (myFormName) ) work well, but I want to check if I changed the StringEdit (and then modified myFiledSringEdit).

If I changed the value form myFormName I do this rule else nothing to do.

I heve to create a method looklike : initFrommyFormName ? Or how should I do who is editing the field ?

I want to find form who changed value in a table .

** I know it is not correct to use that if condition

** myFiledSringEdit - DataSource : MyTable ; DataField : MyFiledSringEdit

thansk all!!

enjoy!

If you just want the update in the formFormName form, then do the change in the modified method of the forms datasource field or on the control itself if not bound to a field.

Do not attempt parameter sniffing in the modifiedField method of the table.
