In FM8.5pro and all previus versions, when uoy click out of a field
automaticaly commits the record and the revert record script step just do
nothing!!!

Is there any way to revert all changes made in a record layout in the state
that the record was before entering that layout ?

According to my FileMaker helpfile you can. Just as a hint: try the
helpfile, it is a source of information....

One way is to create a dummy-layout, this looks the same as the main layout,
but consists of global fields (you have to create them!). When the user is
done inputting he has to click a button which commits the values. You have
to script this, so the script goes to the proper layout and uses a set of
SetField scriptsteps to enter all the data. The inputdata remain revertable
until the user clicks the button.

The second possibility comes from the helpfile:

Setting the automatic record-saving option for a layout
When you make data entry changes to a record, FileMaker Pro normally saves
these changes automatically when you exit the record and display another
record. If you prefer, you can set FileMaker Pro to display a "Save changes
to this record?" confirmation dialog box when exiting a record in which data
has been changed. This confirmation dialog box presents three options:

Save: saves the record changes and exits the record


Cancel: does not save the record changes or exit the record


Don't Save: discards the record changes and exits the record


You can set the usage of this confirmation dialog box on a layout-by-layout
basis, enabling the dialog box on certain layouts and disabling it on
others.

To set the automatic record-saving option for a layout:

1.
Choose View menu > Layout Mode.


2.
Choose the layout you want to work with from the layout pop-up menu.


3.
Choose Layouts menu > Layout Setup.


4.
In the Layout Setup dialog box, do one of the following:


To save record changes automatically, select Save record changes
automatically.



To display a confirmation dialog box when exiting a record in which
data has been changed, clear Save record changes automatically.




5.
Click OK.



Keep well, Ursus
