Its 2 weeks before we are ready to go live with our program, and I ran into an interesting bug. When I use the ON KEY (ACCEPT) To test if the data in the INPUT is ok, It does not apply the current edited field, if im in one. IN OTHER WORDS: If a user updates a record, and goes to a field to update it, and after updating the field (while still in it) he hits ESC, the current field is not saved, it will be reverted. This is a nightmare for me, because I will have users that swear they updated something, and the database will say they are lying. I would live to see how some of you guys handle such a situation. I am thinking of using the FGL_LASTKEY, but I am hoping for an easier way. Paul Fabozzi, merlyn@panix.com
