Sounds like Livecode tables are not very useful unless all you are doing is displaying data.
I'm going to assume that when the user edits a cell, the text property of the table is updated with the new value. If so, you should be able to store the original contents of the table and compare the new contents with the old to see if anything changed, then go through line by line and column by column to figure out what exactly changed. Pretty messy. And it still doesn't solve the issue of when you would need to do that since there apparently isn't a message that is reliably sent. Maybe a keydown handler for the table which sets a "dirty" flag for the table and then use the flag setting to trigger a compare of the old and new table contents at some point during processing? I'm a big fan of Bernd's modTableField and it lets you know when a cell has been edited, but there is a learning curve associated with using it, as with any custom control.
