Jim, 

 I do not believe that EEP's have to be the last item added to a form.  I 
add/remove/modify forms and eeps on a continual basis and have not ran across 
that issue. 



Somethings you might want to look at: 



1) 

EEPs fire by either an object taking focus or losing focus. (Thus the Entry 
Exit Procedure name).  If your EEP is part of a field object, then you must 
insure that the field actually has focus and then leaves for it to "fire".  You 
can confirm this by using TRACE, which will step each line of code.  When you 
leave the Quantity field, you should see the EEP code step through one line at 
a time,  notifying of any errors etc. as well. 

I often make a small file such as 



R> Rbedit Temp. cmd 



--predefine any variables 

Set var vOrder integer = 0 

etc. 



Edit using FormName 



Return 



Then at the R> 



TRACE  Temp. cmd 



2) 

Make sure you have a Property ....REFRESH command in your EEP to insure that 
the form or variables 

are being updated.  RECALC VARIABLES can also be used. 





I have found the most common issue I have with an EEP "not working" is either 
an error in the EEP itself, 

I am not refreshing the screen data or the EEP is not firing because I am not 
gaining or leaving focus. 

I do not believe your issue is that you did not create the eep field last. 



Good luck.

Could you move that EEP to Table, Table Settings, After Saving Row?

I have a form based on two temporary tables.  I have a header table and a 
detail table.  The detail table has an ON EXIT EEP in the quantity field that 
gives me my totals for weights, prices, etc.. 



I got it working perfectly last night but made the mistake of not backing it 
up. I know; dumb mistake.  I made a simple change to the header table, adding a 
field, this morning and now my EEPS in the detail section do not work at all.  
Anyone have an idea what process I have to go through to get them working 
again? 



I found out early that the EEP fields need to be the last items added to a form 
to get them to work properly.  I deleted the EEP field and then added it but to 
no avail.
