Mark, As others have pointed out ... this is a client thing. The client needs to do something with the values before it looses control to the server/filters. The most common thing is to update the records with the user supplied data before the current row/UI mode is changed. ( By looping over the tablefield on the client and doing push actions for the changed records.)
On the other hand.... :) I think the easiest way to explain it is this... Do you know when a table field is refreshed for server side table looping? I think it is _automagically_ done by the server when you call the filter guide to loop over the table. However, I have never really got a good answer on exactly when it happens. If I am correct on that, then even if the values are sent to the server as part of the submit/modify (and I doubt they are anyways) then they would be "refreshed" [AKA: cleared] by the table refresh at the start of the Filter Guide looping over the table field. So it may be possible (though I have never tried it) to use editable columns as part of filter processing to store data and in the row being processed and then to make decisions inside the filter guide from there. Which is really not remarkable other than you might be able to avoid creating some display only fields [non-Columns] for some processes inside a process that loops over a table. -- Carey Matthew Black BMC Remedy AR System Skilled Professional (RSP) ARS = Action Request System(Remedy) Love, then teach Solution = People + Process + Tools Fast, Accurate, Cheap....
