   Newvalue is triggered when a new value is entered into a field but is also   
   called on opening.   
   I have a rather large database which has similar fields (we will call them   
   ASA1 and ASA2) in separate, but linked tables. The fields are not identical   
   for good reasons which I will not discuss here.   
   However, when one of those fields changes, I want to take the value of the   
   field, perform an operation on the value and then put the new value in the   
   other field.   
   The code for that part is easy, but it runs upon opening as well as a   
   newvalue.   
   Changevalue doesn't seem to work all the time. It will work if move off the   
   field by hitting the tab or enter keys or use the mouse to touch another   
   field. This form is a notebook and if I click on the a new tab to look at   
   the other field, the other field has not changed.   
      
   Since CanDeaprt fires before changevalue, I tried putting self.postrecord()   
   in that but, it didn't seem to help. I am sure the Real Programmers out   
   there have dealt with this many times before and there is a relatively easy   
   answer.   
      
   As always,   
   Thanks for your help ahead of time.
