Develop vs Runtime in v 12 adv

I have a Membership application.

I have a table called Members.

I have a layout based on Members.

 

On the Members table there is the usual Name, address, SPOUSES NAME etc... plus there is DOD (Date of Death of the member) plus a checkbox that when checked indicates the death of a Spouse. 

 

I have a report that shows deceased members and does NOT show members if the spouse is deceased.  This works.

 

I have a simple script that when run, shows all deceased Members.  This works.

 

 

Here is the weird part.  In the developmennt environment, but AFTER a subset of deceased members is produced (by the script above), I can, for example, click the 3rd deceased member and then click or unclick the checkbox.  It just works fine. 

 

But, if I produce a runtime of this same application and again View a subset of records and again click the 3rd found record (for example) when I click the checkbox, the checkbox refuses to 'check' and the record selector jumps to the 1st record in the set.

 

THIS ONLY HAPPENS IN THE RUNTIME MODULE and it only happens on a 'found set' of data.

 

So, the question is " What is the underlying cause? that would *not* show in the development envirnment but would show in runtime? 

Well, as usual, after I post a problem, the solution appears.  (ok, it 'appears' to appear).  I turned OFF conditional formatting on the check box and after producing a runtime, it now seems to work as expected.  This produces another question: "Does Conditional Formatting interfere with scripts?" It's late so I will do another runtime development tomorrow and check it for sure.
