Reevaluate scripts as soon as data entry fields are changed.

1) Given a date picker linked to a Named Data Source called SelectedDate

2) and a VBScript called DateTest with code Value = Format.NamedSubStrings("SelectedDate").Value

3) and a read only textbox linked to VBScript DateTest

When I start the form, the textbox correctly displays the value of DateTest but if I change the value in the date picker, either the DateTest VBScript is not reevaluated in real time or the textbox is not updated in real time. How do I get the fields on the form to reevaluate when changes are made to the entries?

  There is not a way to process VB on a Data Entry form screen. It will either process it before the screen displays or after has been displayed ie at print time or print preview. 

  I have often thought it would be good if there were an Event Controlled Script option that could do this.
