Hi Peter, As soon as a field gets focused, revolution puts "edited" into gRevStackStatus[short name of this stack]. That's a very bad trick and means that your stack is almost always "edited".
A much better way is to calculate the hash of relevant data and compare this with a new hash value. If the two hash values are different, then you need to set the dirty flag. -- Best regards, Mark Schonewille Economy-x-Talk Consulting and Software Engineering Homepage: http://economy-x-talk.com Twitter: http://twitter.com/xtalkprogrammer KvK: 50277553 Become our partner in sales http://qery.us/16r Start selling Color Converter today. 20% commission!
