Problem with Editable Fields

[Lynch, Jonathan]

Feel free to send your stack to me, and I will check it out and see if I see anything obvious.

Hi,

Tried what you suggested, the invalid values still gets saved. I know 
the closeField gets called because I hear the beep. I put a 
breakpoint on both all three handler, mouseUp, NewMouseUp and 
closeField and when the done key is pressed it enters the mouseUp 
handler BEFORE closeField, so the old value gets saved. It pot luck 
if the closeField function gets called at all in the case, I am guess 
that it depends on timing, if the script gets run before the close 
stack command is issued.

This really is silly, what I want to do is so straight forward, I 
just cannot understand why it is so difficult in RunRev? Am I missing 
something or is it impossible to range check a field without jumping 
thru hoops?

Thanks a lot
Dave
