The 'Clarion way' :-) is to make a new procedure of the type 'Form' for
the register you want to change. In the window you add all the fields the
user should update and in 'Field Priming on Insert' you set all standard
values to be used when adding a new record.
The procedure-name is inserted under 'Actions' in 'Update Procedure'.

The result is that data from selected record is trasfered to the update
procedure when 'Edit' is selected. and fields will be primed with 
selected
values when 'New' is used.

All validating are done when the 'Save'-function is used. This can be 
tests
done in hand-code or defined in the app.
