This is pertaining to an earlier post to which no one has responded. What I thought was a buffering problem does not now appear to be. The scenario:
A main form calls another form whose responsibility it is to replace the values of 3 date fields in a record. The problem is, I cannot programmatically set the values at all.
Using the debugger, I have verified that the pointer is on the correct record, the value of the field to be replaced is as expected before the update attempt, the replacement value is as expected, and the the code:
'REPLACE memb.orig WITH currentjdate' fires as expected. I have watches on currentjdate and memb.orig. After this code fires THE VALUE DOES NOT CHANGE.
In an effort to narrow down the possibles sources of trouble, I have placed a databound textbox on the form. After updating the value in the textbox manually at runtime, the value is saved, no problem. But it doesn't work in code. I realize that this is a difficult problem to field without seeing all of my code, but does anybody have any idea what is going on? I have written similar code to this hundreds of times before, but this has got me completely stumped. Thanks.
