Cancel a user's insert action.
When a SAVE event occurred (from menu or from toolbar) then a special xojoscript is invoked before insertion of a new record.
From that script one can call AbortInsert in order to cancel the insertion of a new record in databox. Special scripts run before occurance of an Insert, Update or Delete to the database. See menu 'Script -> Edit Special Scripts'.
From such a script we can implement customer specific business rules, like not allowing insertion of records with incomplete data.
