Ask does not wait for an answer

[simplsol at aol.com]

Martin,
No, the original closedField field is "Quantity Shipped 1".
I do have another handler called by this closeField but get the same 
results when it is commented out.
What I am trying to do is make sure that a date is entered in a date 
field if there is a quantity entered in the shipment field. This is for 
partial shipments (backorder situations).
I should have mentioned in the first post: OS X 10.4.3, Rev. 2.6.1
Thank you for taking the time to reply.

   Your script seems to work fine here for me
Is there another handler that might be interfering?
Is "ship date 1" the same field that is receiving the closefield ? I 
assumed
so
