True, but sometimes you may need to still use On Timer since CALL FORM doesn't always execute in a new cycle, i.e. if you make a change which needs the form to be redrawn before the things you want to do with CALL FORM run, you still need to use On Timer (or POST OUTSIDE CALL) instead as it is possible the CALL FORM will execute in the current cycle. ********************************************************************** 4D Internet Users Group (4D iNUG) Archive: http://lists.4d.com/archives.html Options: https://lists.4d.com/mailman/options/4d_tech Unsub: mailto:[email protected] **********************************************************************
