Fields don't update/display

[Sandy R]

I've got a few fields in my solution that don't update their values unless I physically put the cursor in them and click...sometimes. I can't figure out why some fields do this. It makes no difference whether the field is in the layout as a field or as a merge field. Also is there any way to ensure that ALL fields in a layout are updated to the "current" values?

thanks...Sandy

Make sure that the field's home table is the same as that for the layout.

What kind of fields are they: calculations, related?

It looks like the more problematic ones are calculation fields....one is the user login name which I obtain via a Get(AccountName) call which I place into a field.

Any calculation fields using Get functions must be unstored in order to auto-update.
