Field Scripts

When putting script behind a cardfile field the correct method is to 'Return' the data rather than use ScrRead().
My question is. Should a save event fire when data has been returned?
TIA

From a design point of view you should avoid changing field values in database fields using functions such as SCRWrite(), when placing scripts behind field formulas. Yes, changing a field may cause the 'save' event to trigger, and more so in later versions of CAPITAL which has a more sophisticated multi-user field locking mechanism for record management.
If you need to change a field's contents its strongly recommended you do so inside the screen script instead, and monitor the change field focus event.
