Issue with Upgrading to 2017 - Column validation event not functioning

Question

We are currently testing out an upgrade to Sage 100 2017. We are currently running into an issue with scripts not working with the column validation event. 
 We have tried the following to identify this issue: 
 1. Created a test account with a default Sales Order Screen 
 2. Removed all custom scripts from Sales Order Header 
 3. Created a test script that creates a message box. 
 We attached this script to a button click and the column validation event for field comment. 
 The script works for the button click, and appropriately displays a message box. 
 On the column validation however, the Sales Order Screen freezes. 
 
 Any Ideas?

Let me guess, you are running Advanced / Premium? That kind of message box won't work on the Client/Server versions, since the process thread runs on the server. Try this: 
retVal = oSession.AsObject(oSession.UI).MessageBox("Hello")

Look at the panel settings where you added the button. The script can be run from the perspective of the server (with business objects being available) or from the workstation (with client side .vbs UI commands like an input box being possible). For client side scripts, you can pass values to the script using that screen where you set client vs server.
