Par2: Field priming with Edit in Place
1998-04-28 -- Nik Johnson
 
The ultimate add/change/delete is done by the RelationManager for the browse's 
primary file.
  Assuming that the primary file for a browse is MyFile, adds will be done by 
ACCESS:MyFile.INSERT, changes by RELATE:MyFile.UPDATE and deletes by 
RELATE:MyFile.DELETE.
  If your calculation/field priming applies to every update, put them in the 
Access/RELATE:MyFile classes themselves. You can add to (override) the methods of 
these classes in the Globabl embed of your main (or data DLL) app.
  If your calculations apply only when Edit-in-Place is used, you may have to override 
the .AskRecord method for the browse. This is a large and complex method, avoid 
fooling with it if possible.
  If your calculations can be triggered by the completion of a particular field, you could

put the code in the TakeEvent method of the Edit-in-Place class derived for that field.
