Procedure Setup Code not firing reliably.. PR26

[britech]

Hi Folks,

I was having trouble capturing some session variable data.
The code was written into the Procedure Setup embed on a NetWebForm template.
I added a Message() statement to see what the value was and discovered that the code on the Procedure setup embed point doesn't always fire.
When it does, it fires about 5 or 6 times.

On 8 attempts to open the form, the WebServer only produced the message statementon  2 occassions.
All other accesses to the webform failed to produce the message at all.

Could we be missing something in our approach. Is the Procedure Setup embed NOT a good place to put code?

Look forward to your comments.

Brian,

Do not use this embed point.
Try to use
Generate From / Start

Hope this helps

Thanks Alberto,
You may have just saved our collective asses on this project.
Appreciate the quick response.

The other useful embeds are Pre-Insert and Pre-Update remembering on a memory form it will only hit the pre-update embed.

Also using message can be deceptive in some places as multiple Threads are firing. You should use dbgview  with p_web._trace('xxx')
