UPD_Entry changes field atributes to append

There is a list that has 3 columns that do a quick calculation and put the result into another column in that list.
The calc is triggered by a keypress or an enter key. The problem is, after the calc is done run UPD_Entry in the list and it updates everything.
During that update, it causes the new entry to the cell to be appended instead of replaced (clear and add).

The Keypress event fires when the key is pressed and BEFORE the field values in the list are updated. This allows you to trap specific keys if required.

However, for the purposes of updating a total, it's best is to use the ItemChanged event. This fires after the underlying list values have been updated

Code: Select all
