I have the same code on Exit from a field and 
the same code on Row Exit where I check for a Dirty flag.

Most likely not the best way but what my limited RBrain came up with

Subject: [RBASE-L] - Opinions on regional eeps?


Just looking for opinions, because I just ran into this 
again when looking at an older app.

In a form with a region, it has always been the case where if
you have an "exit field" eep, it will not evaluate if you go from the
field in that row directly to the same field in another row.  IE:  you 
either F8 right from the field, or click into the row beneath it, without
ever leaving that field.  This is because RBase doesn't think it has
left the field, because it's still in the same column.  (At least I think
that's the logic.)

Ran across a case where we had some inventory calculations going
on when leaving the field, and sometimes they weren't working.  When
I saw the calc was on field exit level, I knew what was happening.  So I
had to change the eep to "row exit" level instead.   It works fine there,
but there are times when I could use a field exit instead so that I can
check something before they go onto another field in that same row.

This is an original RBase behavior, and I'm not even sure they could
change it if we wanted them to.  So I'm just curious if everyone out
there never uses field exit eeps on a regional form ...   Or do you assume
the user won't click into the next row ...   

It's a slow day ...
