Chip,
Thanks for you suggestions, I don't understand exactly how they help me yet, I may need to read/think about it more. In the mean time… let me clarify the context in which the events/non-event occurs maybe this will help When creating a new subscription ADD RECORD is used to display the SubscriptionDetails form When editing a subscription MODIFY RECORD is used to display the SubscriptionDetails form These are being called from within the event handle of a button that exists in the OrderDetails page. Hope this information is helpful.

In this case you need to find the code that is managing the listbox (probably in the object method of the listbox) and add the (above) new method call there. again same things to be sure of as above (marked with ---) hope that is not too confusing, and that it helps :) Chip On Mon, 15 Apr 2019 14:07:04 -0400, Sandor Szatmari via 4D_Tech wrote: > > Path 2: Indirect path to SubscriptionDetail form through OrderDetails: > • Create a new order (OrderDetails) > • While in OrderDetails make it a subscription, > SubscriptionDetails is displayed > • Now in SubscriptionDetails > • Edit SubscriptionDetail.textField the On Data change does not > appear fire, > or the wrong form is receiving it, or some scenario I can't > envision… etc. > --------------- Gas is for washing parts Alcohol is for drinkin' Nitromethane is for racing CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE: This email (and any related attachments) contains information from InfoPlus (a service of Bristol Capital, Inc.).
