Use trace logging to figure out what app is doing (tables, fields involved and business object methods invoked).
That'll help you determine suitable event triggers for your subs... Use the wizards to help get you started.
Technet is a great vb.net code resource.
Often useful code posts here as well.
Before you know it, you'll be coding.

Subj:[Vantage] V8.03 Programming Resources

I'm just learning how to program (in V8) and would like to find sample code or reference resources. I don't know where to start. I have the Epicor Tools User Guide but I need a more complete reference.

For example, I cannot figure out what event is triggered when a new record is added, or how to convert a string to UpperCase.

I know VBA, so this should be easy if I can find good resources.

Where can I find such information?

Dear Randy:

Probably no one has answered you yet on this because I don't think there are any additional resources.

There may be a few snipets of what you are looking for in the AnswerBooks or the Tech Tips.

These can be found on MyEpicWeb. On the left are links for "Search Answerbooks" and "Search Tips".

One thing I've learned to do is to use the Tracing Options. For example, if I want to see what objects are being called and what is being passed when a sales order is saved, I clear the log, set up a new order, enable tracing, save the order, and view the log. This works well for BPMs. If I am working on a customization and I'm not sure what events are happening, I'll set up msgbox statements at key points to view the results. Between these two techniques and a lot of testing I can usually figure out what is going on.

A more complete reference would be nice, but I don't think we'll ever see one.
