Thanks. While I was trying this and that. I found out that EEP could be set for a field that is regular filed and not a clickable and other similarly featured field... And also it would not redisplay the field unless the field from which EEP was initiated. Am I right?
I will try your suggestion to see if I can achieve what I want.. Thanks again.

Before you bring the form up, SET AUTOSKIP ON. I'm not sure it works with a checkbox field but I'm assuming that this would cause the person to leave the field and go to the next field after clicking or un-clicking the field. If there is no actual field that comes after this one, locate a dummy variable field and make sure it comes after the checkbox field in the field order. 2. I would set up a form variable to trap the value of your check box field, like vCheckbox = CheckBoxColumn. 3. Also, predefine a variable for your date column outside the form: SET VAR vDate DATE = NULL, or SELECT datecolumn INTO vDate WHERE ...... 4. Set up another form variable: datecolumn = .vDate 5. In the form on hat "next" field, put an eep on entry into that field. That eep would say something like: IF vCheckbox = 'T' THEN SET VAR vDate = .#Date ELSE SET VAR vDate = NULL ENDIF RECALC VAR I'm thinking thta the RECALC VAR will cause the "datecolumn = .vDate" expression to reevaluate and display on the screen.
