To find out whether a table cell was modified, ..Modified must be used in the exit code of the column as follows:

Initializing and re-initializing the ..Modified property

..Modified is initialized to False when the window is opened.

..Modified is reinitialized to False by programming only (<Object name>..Modified = False).

Tip: When modifying a control by programming, directly modify the ..Modified property of the window. A validation process can easily check whether a modification was performed (in this case, there is no need to check ..Modified on each window control).
