If you make changes to a function and don't select the Save button you will be asked when closing down that window, if you wish to save or not.

 

 

NOTE 1: If you have the AutoSave facility enabled, Resort Executive will not show any prompts but will automatically save any changes that you have made.

 

NOTE 2: No two functions are permitted the same name in a Resort Executive database.  If you try to create a function with the name of a function that already exists, Resort Executive will display an error message.
