If you mean, "I changed the value in the loan percentage field, but nothing happened," then check what Jim wrote above about the closeField message. Whenever you change the value in a field, as soon as you click someplace else the field gets a closefield message, and if the field (or the card the field is on, or the stack the card is in) has a script like this:
on closeField answer "You changed something." end closeField then you'll get a dialog. From there you just need to get rid of the answer command I used and put what you really want to have happen there.
