Jan, Do you recall what you did? I am thinking that a combination of using the lastkey function to see if I got to the field via a tab or return vs an F7/F8 and then doing the comparison based on values obtained with form system variables or getproperty or using a form variable would do the trick, but I have not been able to figure it out yet. I can understand that F7 and F8 are not really changing the field, but I would think that the On Entry Row EEP would capture the "new row" value and the On Exit Row EEP would capture the "old row" value, but that does not seem to be the case. Mike

Technically you are not leaving the field when you switch rows. This point has been debated for years on this list. I had to do some creative EEPing to kind of do what you want. That was in the past and I have moved away from scrolling regions. My preferred tool is now the variable listview. Jan -----Original Message----- >From: "Michael J.
