How to insert multiple records in a collection where one of the columns is Screen Names.

[Garethterb]

Good day.

I am trying to build a collection from OnStart which stores CompanyName, MenuType and then the screen value (as used in the navigate command). Based on some reading that I have done I should be able to do this as follows:

Collect(Col_ScreenNavigate,
	{CompanyName : "Company1" , MenuType : "NewStaff" , Screen : SCR_1},
	{CompanyName : "Company2" , MenuType : "NewStaff" , Screen : SCR_2})

The issue seems to be specifically linked to trying to insert more than one record. If I only insert 1 record it works fine, I have even tried consecutive collect statements separated by semicolon but this also does not work so it seems that a collection can not have more than one screen name stored in it unless it is save as text. The reason for this collection is that I want one central place where I can control the navigation of multiple buttons so that when I add records I do not need to update each button.

I don't see why this wouldn't work. I copied this and pasted it in my app and it seems to work. Have you tried exiting the editing session and coming back in?

Hi yes I tried this but still got an error. I have now found the issue, I realised that in the actual app one record was storing the navigation to a screen and the second record was storing the navigation to a form. When I fixed this and made them both screen records everything worked.
