I have a related field on my layout that is not updated when the "mother record" is updated.

The specific field has allow entry not checked.

If i make a copy of this field but with allow entry checked the updated works perfect.

I have tried numerous solutions

redraw screen

goto related record

empty chache

Please help me out on this one

Thanks Jitse

In addition:

When i manual zoom the window and unzoom again the related field displays the correct value.

If i create a calculated field that copies the value of the related field the calculated field is updated

correct.

Oh yes : FM 5.5 developer OS X 10.2.8

Weird

Try Enter Find Mode [ ] Enter Browse Mode.

Thanks, but that did not work.

Offcourse, i can make calculation fields, but any other suggestions are more then welcome !!

Can you post a sample?

Please have a look at the attached file (parent.fp5 and child.fp5)

Thanks Jitse

Use Enter Preview Mode [ ] Enter Browse Mode [ ] in each script.

That did the trick but ........

is this a bug ......

is it stil there in FMp7 ??

In 7 you would use Refresh Window [Flush cached join results].

You have a calculated field based on a global from another file and a relationship using this calculated field to display another field from that file. You wouldn't have this issue if you just set a global in Parent and used it for your index relationship.
