When creating business rules is there a way to specify that certain rules will only be enforced if the record in question is a new one and not just editing an existing one?



For example I want to do a check to make sure that the PO number isnt already in the system.. but that would only apply to adding new purchase orders and not editing existing ones.

Where do I do that at? In the BO or in the form?

I tried to add that code to CheckRulesOnCurrentRow in the BO and it didnt work.

Mike,

Yes place the following code in the BO and it should work.

 If Me.CurrentRow.RowState = DataRowState.Added Then
     '-- do your thing 
 End If
