Evan,

Are you assigning a value programtically? You then need to use both the interactivechange and the programaticchange events. The interactivechange fires ONLY when the user interactively changes the value of the control, the programaticchange fires when you code changes the value of the control. I often have code in the interactvechange and then put this in the programaticchange;

THIS.InteractiveChange()

to fire the interactivechange when my code alters the value of the control.
