>>>I have a grid where the user needs to select some records. The last column has a checkbox (text1 removed, .currentcontrol="chk") bound to a logical field. Grid's recordsource is a readwrite cursor.
>>>
>>>My problem is the total field, in another cursor, shown in a readonly textbox below the grid. I'm calling the counting code from checkbox's .interactive change, and it sometimes fires, sometimes not. Most often, it works on/off, i.e. once works, once doesn't. I've tried several known tricks - before calling the code, do
>>>
>>>1. dodefault()
>>>2. this.value=this.value
>>>3. this.setfocus()
>>>4. go recno()
>>>5. calling the calculation from .lostfocus instead
>>>
>>>None of this works - the calculation is never sure to see the last change. It either sees the last change sometimes, or never - depending on which trick I try. So, how do I get the change written into the controlsource and be sure that the calculation routine sees it? From where do I call it?

>>>Update: the last sentence gave me the idea. I'm now doing this:

replace (this.ControlSource) with this.Value

>>this.value = this.value should have been sufficient. The question is: what do you do in that routine? May be you're doing some SELECT statements? If this is the case and you're working with the buffered data, your changes would not be seen until commited.

Interesting. It sounds like your cursor is not getting updated. Can you investigate why?
