Designer 7.0 form working with Reader 7.0.5 but not Reader 7.0.8

Question

Hello everyone,
I was wondering if anyone has had a problem with a formed created using Designer 7.0 that was working with Reader 7.0.5 but no longer functions with Reader 7.0.8?
The form consists of a numeric textbox N1 and 2 checkboxes C1[0] and C1[1].
All code is done using FormCalc.
Here is the situation: if the number in the numeric box is blank or not greater then zero, then neither check box can be checked. Both check boxes can not be checked at the same time. If the value in the numeric box is greater then zero, the checkboxes may or may not be checked (again both can not be checked at the same time).
N1 has code the following code in its exit event:
if (($.isNull) or ($.rawValue le 0)) then
C1[0].rawValue = 0 //if not positive value, checkboxes must be blank
C1[1].rawValue = 0
endif
C1[0] has the following code in its click and exit event
if (C1[0].rawValue == 1) then
C1[1].rawValue = 0 //C1[0] and C1[1] can not both be checked
endif
if ((N1.isNull) or (N1.rawValue le 0)) then
$.rawValue = 0 //uncheck if N1 is not positive
endif
C1[1] has the following code in its click and exit event
if (C1[1].rawValue == 1) then
C1[0].rawValue = 0 //C1[0] and C1[1] can not both be checked
endif
if ((N1.isNull) or (N1.rawValue le 0)) then
C1[1].rawValue = 0 //uncheck if N1 is not positive
endif
The above code worked exactly as described when the form was used in Reader 7.0.5.
Under Reader 7.0.8 the following happens:
if N1 is blank or less then or equal to zero, both checkboxes can be checked at the same time (this should not happen at all) but neither can be unchecked
if N1 is positive the code (and checkboxes) function as described.
I am not sure if this is a Designer issue or a Professional/Reader issue, so I am posting this here as well as in the other 2 spots.
Any help is greatly appreciated,
Ben

Chris,
Thank you for the sample you provided. First, I must apologize for not mentioning that there was additional code in the Click event. I thought I had removed it from my form, but apparently I had not.
I have compare the sample you provided to my form. I noticed several differences between them. First was that you used Designer 7.1 to create your sample, whereas I used Designer 7.0. I do not believe that this will have an impact, although it is possible. Also, in your sample, then click and exit events both need to contain the same "check" code. Your sample has one IF statement in the click event and one IF statement in the exit event. To match my form code, the Click and Exit events together need to contain both IF statements. My form originally contained the code in the Change event also.
i.e. C1[0] has the following code in both its Click, Exit and Change events
if (C1[0].rawValue == 1) then
C1[1].rawValue = 0 //C1[0] and C1[1] can not both be checked
endif
if ((N1.isNull) or (N1.rawValue le 0)) then
$.rawValue = 0 //uncheck if N1 is not positive
endif
and similarly for C1[1].
Based off your sample, I did some more digging and found that the problem is caused by the Change event for the checkboxes. I have removed the code from the Change event and now the form works as desired.
So, if the Change event has NO code, and if the Click and Exit events for the checkboxes have both IF statements the overall behavior (as specified earlier) is identical (and what I am looking for) for both Reader 7.0.5 and 7.0.8.
Now, if I add the IF statements to the Change event (without removing them from Click and Exit), the behavior in Reader 7.0.5 does not change (works as specified). In Reader 7.0.8, the checkboxes can not be unchecked if N1 is blank.
So my questions now become:
1) What has actually changed between Reader 7.0.5 and 7.0.8 (i.e. more detailed description than the generic release notes)?
2) Which one actually exhibits the correct behavior?
3) If this is a change to the event model, is this documented anywhere?
Thanks again,
Ben
