   According to the Help, it also triggers whenever there is a screen refresh.   
   IIUC it fires whenever the value displayed within the field object is   
   updated on the screen for any reason whatsoever.   
      
   changeValue, OTOH, fires whenever the user tells the form to change the   
   value, and that's it. Again IIUC, it flushes the *field's* text buffer,   
   placing the value into the *record's* text buffer, without posting the   
   record.

   This is the part that interested me. For changeValue to fire, the user must   
   explicitly tell Paradox that s/he is through editing the field -- and   
   evidently clicking on a tab doesn't do this. That is, if the user clicks on   
   another notebook tab, then clicks back, the field will still be in focus   
   and its value uncommitted. But should this really be a problem? As soon as   
   the user does something real, the changeValue will fire.
