I have a form with several calculated fields based on user entered fields. Is there a simple way to force the calculations to update after a user has entered data?
Thanks in advance.
 
Bigandfat,

While Paradox does support a dataRecalc action, I'm pretty sure that's only a notification that Paradox is recalculating the fields and not an action that triggers the recalc.

In my experience, the easiest way to force the recalc is to simply post the record, e.g.
Code:
active.postAction( dataPostRecord )
.

Hope this helps...
