How is vAMT_OWED defined in the variable section of the form? Try vAMT_OWED = .vAMT_OWED

Here is what I am doing: I have a form with a main table is called customer that is used to edit customer information and display the customers purchase history in a DBGrid from the purchase table. The form name is puredit1 Form is set as one - many I have a variable called vAMT_OWED that I want to display the amount that the customer owes. I am using the following EEP to perform the calculation SET VAR vamt_owed = 0 COMPUTE vamt_owed AS SUM amt_owed from invoice WHERE cust# = .vcu_no Property TABLE puredit1 'REFRESH' recalc variables RETURN I have traced the EEP and it calculates the correct amount and puts it into the var vAMT_OWED I currently have the EEP triggering on entry to the customer name field in the customer table. I have tried it "on entry to" of various fields on the form. Sometime when I click on the .vAMT_OWED field, the field will update properly. Does anyone have an idea as to what I may be doing wrong?
