This sound like much the same thing as I asked a few days back (Thursday last week):
I have spent the whole afternoon attempting to get what I want from an EEP in a DB CHeckBox but it appears that any EEP is fired before the check is changed by the click. Is this the expected behaviour and, if so, is there some other way to take into account the effect of the click? Knowing what it's _meant_ to do might help work out how to do what is wanted.
