Well, what can I say...... I was looking at a tiny sample of code to show the problem and I couldn't re-produce it........................<wbr />..........<wbr />.....<br />
<br />
After much anguish, I found it was because in the original code I was triggering the Post with a tToolButton. My sample code was using a standard button.<br />
<br />
When the tToolButton is pressed, focus is left with the tDBEdit that has focus, with a tButton, focus is passed to the button itself.<br />
When the focus leaves the tdbedit, data is retained.<br />
<br />
<br />
Weird behavior but logical (I guess). Anyway, please have the points as you were the only one to answer anyway.<br />
<br />
<br />
Best Wishes..<br />

I think you should ask to have your points refunded actually :-)

I have a simple app which has several tdbedit fields and a button to post data.<br />
<br />
If I edit a field and press the post button before I tab out of the field, the data is lost.<br />
<br />
This sounds SO trivial I'm embarrassed to ask but there you go..<br />
I'm asking.............. What can I do.
