Now I have looked at, used and got VERY frustrated with previous versions, and judging from the small number of items on there, I am not alone, but did notice this one in conjunction with your article:<BR/><BR/><A HREF="https://connect.microsoft.com/feedback/ViewFeedback.aspx?FeedbackID=308451&SiteID=104" REL="nofollow">https://connect.microsoft.com/feedback/ViewFeedback.aspx?FeedbackID=308451&SiteID=104</A>Neil Jordanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00471304265224223054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1184616523220259289.post-83462698213359700072008-03-05T09:52:00.000-08:002008-03-05T09:52:00.000-08:00I don't know for certain but I would very much dou...I don't know for certain but I would very much doubt it.

So, in fact, why bother even asking me to save, when it already has!!!<BR/><BR/>It's amazing that it doesn't use transactions to handle this and allow for a cancel/undo. Maybe in version 10? Anyone?David E.

However, as I understand it, GP makes changes to the tables as you edit, so in actual fact it has no way of not saving the changes, as it has already done them. I guess this may be a fallback to Pre-SQL days as I think that if it were to use transactions properly, all the information as to what to change is recorded, but not actioned unless you tell it to Save.<BR/><BR/>But I may be wrong.<BR/><BR/>Let's also be honest that there are a LOT of annoying features in GP. How about when you have a Sales Transaction on view in the Entry window and want to create a new one - you can either save it and create another revision, even if you haven't altered it, or have to close the window and reload. I could go on for hours...Neil Jordanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00471304265224223054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1184616523220259289.post-79713665569223197042008-02-29T07:54:00.000-08:002008-02-29T07:54:00.000-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.Neil Jordanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00471304265224223054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1184616523220259289.post-19172481251593766952008-02-27T05:02:00.000-08:002008-02-27T05:02:00.000-08:00Yes!

Save the accidental change or just delete the whole thing?
