Allow exiting frmConfirmLink without exiting frmNewEvent #7

Open davidskalinder opened 3 years ago

davidskalinder commented 3 years ago

When "Do Not Link!" button is pressed in frmConfirmLink (or the window is closed), not only is the event not linked (as expected), but all information entered into frmNewEvent is lost! There should be a way to non-destructively exit frmConfirmLink.

Hmm, on examining the events table, it appears that in fact the information is not lost, just invisible (meaning that events 1702 and 1703 that I created while testing this are presumably junk, but I'm nervous about deleting them).

So I guess it's just that the window-closing logic is the confusing thing here, while the data itself is okay.

Maybe there's a smooth workaround that the other coders know but I don't?
