You may add, amend and delete records on the main table selected for your procedure body. Note that, if the user deletes a record, normally subsidiary procedures will not be executed (see Error Subsidiaries ).
The following controls in the Main Table dialog can be set up:

which delete records. Yes: records may be added, amended or deleted No: records may be deleted, but not added or amended |

processed, in addition to newly created records Yes: records on the database are processed No: records on the database are not processed |
