Hello all,

I have an OSQ which has various fields and a table within it.  When
accessed the OSQ is opened as
SET_FORMS FIELD '' (mode(tbl)='READ');
- At this point 'before' and 'after' field activations on the
tablefields work fine since when I move from column to column I am
displaying messages within the 'before' and 'after' activation code
which are displayed correctly.

By using an FRSKEY (from within a submenu) the OSQ is made editable by
using the command
SET_FORMS FIELD '' (mode(tbl)='UPDATE');
- At this point I need to be able to use the 'before' and 'after'
field activations but they do not work as I am able to freely move in
and out of the tablefields without any of the messages being
displayed.

Do 'before' and 'after' field activations behave differently if the
mode is set from within a submenu?
Is there a way around this? When the form is in mode=UPDATE I need to
be able to set tbl.field_3( which is a hidden tbl field) if the value
of tbl.field1 has changed or the value of tbl.field2 has changed.

Thanks,

Manny
