Re: Re[2]: [RBASE-L] - Forms | Accessing a DBcontrol value BEFORE it is saved.

Bruce,   It is the TEXTVALUE that will provide the current value.   Here's how:   GETPROPERTY TEXTVALUE 'varname'   Have fun!   Very Best R:egards,   Razzak

Re: Re[2]: [RBASE-L] - Forms | Accessing a DBcontrol value BEFORE it is saved.

Your syntax is wrong.  It would be something like this: GETPROPERTY Sum1BalCurr VALUE vTBalCurr The "vTBalCurr" would be the variable that gets the value of the cell with that componentID. Karen On Saturday, March 23, 2024 at 12:19:59 PM CDT, Bruce Chitiea wrote: Thank you, Razzak.

Thank you, Razzak. An elegant solution, to be sure. Comes the question: "Which PROPERTY holds the the control's current value? Despite extensive testing, I seem incapable of finding it. (Note: I continued working yesterday within a variable form to keep momentum, and have the same issue.) S

Re: [RBASE-L] - Forms | Accessing a DBcontrol value BEFORE it is saved.

Bruce,   Consider using the GETPROPERTY command to capture the control's current value in a variable. Then, use that captured variable to extract anything you see fit. That is as simple as it gets.   Razzak On 03/22/2024 6:32 PM ED
