I'm not sure about the RECALC. RECALC forces all form variables to ... well, recalculate.

Hi Jan, This code seems to be working as an 'On Key Press EEP' GETPROPERTY id_prntflag textvalue 'vtext' SET VAR vchar = (SGET(.vtext,1,1)) IF vchar <> 'y' AND vchar <> 'n' THEN SET VAR vchar = NULL ENDIF PROPERTY id_prntflag textvalue .vchar RECALC RETURN When I trace the form trying to use On Row Entry EEPS, sometimes the On Row Entry EEP fires twice in a row after a single key press with the F7 or F8, and for some reason, when if fires twice, the property component_id autoselect 'true' does not seem to work. I am going to try to make a simplified form to demonstrate what I am seeing. Does the above code look ok to you? How would you have done it with more than 2 fields?

There is a way but your scrolling region needs at least 2 fields -----Original Message----- From: "Michael J.
