Just to keep the effect of what I do narrowed to the target, I would use the property command vs the “recalc variable” to effect a display.

This was a variable label, not an edit, and I almost always check the "transparent" so the form background shows thru. Leaving it checked won't be an issue unless the value of the variable needs to be refreshed while in the form. So from now on I'll keep "transparent" unchecked, and if it needs to be transparent and recalculated, then I will probably assign a ComponentID and use property commands. Before I found this out, I was going to try your fix, Albert!!!

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
