Javier, You sure made that part simple! What I am actually trying to do is to check to see if the value in the field changes. If it does, I want my On Exit EEP to fire, if not, I don't want the On Exit EEP to fire. How can I capture value when I enter the field and then see if it has changed? It is easy to do that when I am moving back and forth between fields within a row, but I am having trouble doing it when I am moving back and forth between rows within the same field when I use the [F7] and [F8] keys. Mike

Go to the top menu>>Variables>>Add/Edit Variable and create a variable, say vWhatever equal to the column whose value you want to collect. This variable will have the value of the column for the current record, regardless of how you get there. With the advent of the Property command, sometimes we forget that the simple things still work.

Sinclair Sent: Monday, June 18, 2012 10:44 PM To: RBASE-L Mailing List Subject: [RBASE-L] - On Row Entry EEP with mouse click vs [F7]/[F8] Hello all, I have a form with a scrolling region. As I move from row to row within the same field, I would like to capture the value of the field that I am going to. If I use the On Row Entry EEP, and I move from one row to the next using my mouse, the EEP seems to work just fine. BUT if I use the [F7] or [F8] key to move from one row to the next, the On Row Entry EEP captures the value of the field I am leaving. The On Row Entry EEP I have is pretty simple... GETPROPERTY component_id TEXTVALUE varname RETURN Is there a way to capture the value of the field I am going to using the [F7] or [F8] key? Should there be a difference between jumping from one row to another using a mouse click vs the [F7] or [F8] key? Thanks Mike
