I'm puzzled by the SCREEN RESTORE command: According to the syntax the default is ON - so there _should_ be no need to specify ON under most conditions. Except that the syntax also says that it redisplays the ORIGINAL screen (my caps) which I _assume_ to mean the original screen refreshed with the latest data.
The syntax also says that, for Windows, if one EEP has it set to OFF then all must - I can understand this for EEPs called from within another EEP but not ALL. I also have a form where I have to "scroll" through the rows to get data updated - usually having to go down and then back up the form at least twice before I am sure everything is correct. It does get updated but _only_ after going into and out of each row _after_ having entered the data and left the row. Anybody able to shed any light?
