Dennis:
If you
upgrade the value of a plain variable from an EEP it will display the same
value on all rows. If you want to upgrade the value of a variable that is
unique to each row, then you need to define a variable in the form and make it
unique by linking it to some column in the
row.
For
example, let say that you have a column direction that can be: E, W, N, S and
then you want to display a variable vdir_desc that shows: East, West, North,
South depending on the value of direction. If you upgrade the value of
vdir_desc to EAST from within an EEP, then all the rows will display EAST
as the value of the variable.
What
you would need to do is to create a look-up table (columns direction and
dir_desc) and then define the
variable vdir_desc as:
dir_desc
in your_lookup_table WHERE direction =
direction
and
now, whenever you change the value of direction, the variable vdir_desc will
display the correct narrative.
if you
have only a couple of values, instead of using a lookup table, you can create
a variable vtemp_direction = direction in the form and then you can you can
use an _expression_ for the variable vdir_desc such
as:
IFEQ(,vtemp_direction,N,North,South)
I hope
that this is what you were looking for

Scrolling regions- variables vs columns
RB7.1
In
a form I have an EEP (on an object) which updates a variable and a column in a
scrolling region. The column value works fine and only changes the focused
row. I've tried all the combinations I can think of with the variable (update
in variable expressions, using the EEP and component ID, etc., but it always
changes all rows.
Any suggestions appreciated.
Dennis
