Active buffer required

Posted on by Microsoft Employee

Hi. I have a problem when I am trying open the form I got this error - "Active buffer required". Any ideas. Working with Microsoft Dynamics 2012 R3.

    Only you know what custom forms are in your system, and what those forms contain. You have to remember that we don't see in your system. We only know what you tell us.

    But if you have a form called ConFMSVehicleTable in your system, it sounds like that could be the one.

    So that form is CONFMSVEHICLETABLE right?

    Yes, exactly.

    It means that my not opening directly form should be opened by other form?

    Yes, that's my guess. Otherwise it could not work.

    You know your system and these forms, I don't know anything else except what you shared.

    I suggest (as I did before) to talk to your colleagues if you need more understanding about the custom forms in your system.

    So this form can be opened from another form, pressing button, right?

    This form can't be opened directly from AOT. You must open it from the vehicle form with a button. Just like your users do.

    This is because you must provide exactly one, selected vehicle record for this form. You can't do such thing from AOT.

    Not all forms can be opened from AOT, because they need some context in order to work.

    No, the label is ok. This form is supposed to be opened only with an active buffer. Then it uses this buffer to initialize ConFMSVehicleGroupChange class for that vehicle.

    Could you please answer my previous questions? Otherwise it's impossible for me to help you and I can't contribute to this discussion anymore. Also did you try my suggestion to resolve the issue?

    Here are the previous questions - and the suggestion how to solve your problem:

    "I can guess that you have a button that opens this form. This button is on some other form, where you have a list of vehicles. Is this correct? If yes, the button group on the vehicle form should have property DataSource set to point to the vehicle table data source."
