add a property that would flag if there was a change in the data set it to .t. in the InteractivChange() set it to .f. in the LostFocus (and call the method if needed) Arnon : : I want to call a method but only if my field value is change. : : Right now, I was keeping the old value in a property and comparing this : with the field value in the Valid() event to know if I have to call my : method. : : I want to simplify this and use InteractiveChange() event. : : But, InteractiveChange() event is fire whenever the user press a key and : not only when he exit the field. For example, the value is 33. So, after : the first 3, the InteractiveChange() will be fire and also after the second : one. : : How can I only have one call to my method without having to keep the value : in a property? : : I can't use OLDVAL() and CURVAL() because OLDVAL() is the value when the : user enter the form but might change that value more than one time before : saving so OLDVAL() will not represent the actual value of the field. :
