Make icon visible depending on existence of record

(0) Share

Report

Posted on by TDB-Jim

I have an Editform that is used both to enter details for new records, and edit fields for existing records.

I need to have an icon that is visible only if a record has been created and saved - i.e. in edit 'mode' and not in create 'mode'.

Can anyone advise what the control would be to achieve this for the Visible property of the icon?

Many thanks.

Thanks for the info,
However this is always in edit mode. Either adding a new record (icon hidden) or editing a record that has previously been added (icon visible).

Ok. Check IF ALL fields are empty. If yes, the form is new

Tried that, however once you start entering data into any of the fields the icon appears. Hence why I titled the question as existence of record - and not contents of a field. I don't want the icon to be visible on the edit form when creating a new record. Once the record has been created the icon needs to be visible. So, open edit form to create new record, icon hidden, enter data and write to excel. Open edit form to access the new record, icon visible. Hope that all makes sense.

My mistake - sorry I'm new to Power Apps? Your first response would work, as Editform is used for the edit, and Newform for the addition of a new record. However I cannot get the control to work with the info in your first reply.
