[RBG7-L] - Re: Variables in scrolling regions

[Alastair Burr]

Karen, I asked much the same question a couple of months back and never really resolved the problem.   The best that I could get to work was to ensure that the variables were linked directly to a specific row in the Scrolling Region by a specific look-up for each row.   Where it's either not possible or not practical to do that then I get the latest value for the variable showing in every row although, as you'd expect, the column value is correct. when the variable is reset to a default (usually zero) on row entry then that, too, gets displayed in every row until the new value is entered. It looks pretty dumb when using it but I've found no alternative.   Regards, Alastair.   ----- Original Message ----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: RBG7-L Mailing List Sent: Wednesday, January 05, 2005 5:01 PM Subject: [RBG7-L] - Variables in scrolling regions Back in 6.5, you could define a form variable and locate it in a region.  When you got to that row, the variable would evaluate and display on the row.  When you moved to the next row, that variable would still be visible in the previous row. It seems in 7.1 that as soon as you go to a new row, that previous variable disappears.  Anyone find a way to have that previous variable's value stay in the row?  Luckily in this case I'm working with a temp table so I might be able to use a computed column to do this, but if it was a permanent table I might not have that option.
