Saving your changes

About this task

After you create or edit a record, you should save your changes to the database.

Procedure

To save your changes to the database, follow these steps:
  1. Validate data in the record by calling the Validate method of the Entity object.

    This method returns any validation errors so that you can fix them before you attempt to save your changes.

  2. Call the Commit method of the Entity object.

    This method writes the changes to the database, ends the current action, and checks in the record so that it cannot be edited.
