I have an eep used in a form to calculate purchase amounts from a purchase

tried adding a recalc variable to the eep but it did not help.

--Sum of current purchases
SELECT SUM(vtprice) +
INTO vGTOT INDICATOR vind_SUM +
FROM purchase +
whe inv# = .vnew_inv_no
return

John,

Add the RECALC VARIABLES before the RETURN statement in your EEP
and see what happens. Your EEP should look like the following:

-- Sum of current purchases
SELECT (SUM(vtprice)) +
INTO vGTOT INDICATOR vind_SUM +
FROM purchase +
WHERE inv# = .vnew_inv_no
RECALC VARIABLES
RETURN

In order to test "On Entry EEP" for Variable Edit, try the
following test and see what happens:

PAUSE 2 USING 'This is On Entry EEP' ICON INFO
RETURN

For more examples, take a look at the "Sales Order" routines
and EEPs used in Running R:BASE Your Way! (Part 9).

Finally, you may want to TRACE the entire process to see
where things are not working.

Hope that helps!

Very Best R:egards,

Razzak.
