Hi all,

Is it possible to have call in a pre event handler to skip the original method? The next statement is a bit to aggressive:

throw exception::break;

This causes all database actions to be aborted and also statements needed after this method to continue the complete logic are not executed.

No, you can't. That would be abusing the purpose of events!

Hi Joris,

Thanks for the confirmation. I do agree usually you have to use the events to extend standard AX functionality and not to disable it. In this case we have to extend AX by not executing some standard table changes as the table is now also used for other similar purposes. This is related to an upgrade of AX2009 software to AX2012. The goal was to not touch standard methods as much as possible, so that is why we investigated trying to skip the method e.g. with the pre event handler. So back to the drawing board...
