Calendar class reuse on mutiple fields

Question

I have a form based on a table. There are two date fields on this form. I have followed the instructions in the online help to reuse the calendar class. The last statement in the help file tells me to create a key-listval trigger for each field that I would like to associate with the calendar class. I call the Date_LOV.Get_date() function in the two key-listval triggers. My problem is that when I run the form and click on one of the date fields, the calendar pops up correctly and places the return value in the correct date field. But if I then go to the other date field, and press F9, the trigger fires (I put an alert in both triggers to prove this) but the calendar does not appear. If I close the form , re-run it, and navigate to the other date field first, the calendar appears correctly, but when I go to the first date field, the trigger fires but the calendar does not appear. When I have the form in enter query mode, the calendar never works. Similarly, when I type other fields first and then go to the date fields, neither calendar works. The enter query mode seeting on the key-listval triggers are set to yes. How can I make this calendar work correctly for both fields?

According to the API docs for Calendar:
"set(f, value) changes field f to value. In addition, it sets an internal member variable to indicate that field f has been changed. Although field f is changed immediately, the calendar's milliseconds is not recomputed until the next call to get(), getTime(), or getTimeInMillis() is made."
