If the variable value you are displaying is in a variable edit box, use the text value property of the edit box instead of recalc to keep from fritzing other variable displays based on variables. There are instances when recalc is disconcerting….
From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Karen Tellef Sent: Monday, January 18, 2016 10:59 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [RBASE-L] - Variable display Using Version X, 64-bit, a recent upgrade from 7.6 I have a form variable defined, and located on my form. It sums up values from another table. I have an "on click" eep in a scrolling region that makes some data changes, then has a "recalc var" command so that this variable will be recalculated and redisplayed (variable is not in the region). The recalc works (I think) but it overwrites the previous value so it's garbled. Each time we click we can see it overwriting. I've played around with some of the variable properties ("transparent" was always checked) but can't find anything that changes this behavior. Is there something I'm missing? Thanks! Karen
