PAX Action Button Refresh - Execute Calculation Options before display Success/Failure Message

In Perspectives once an action button runs a TurboIntegrator process, the "Calculations" section under Options is applied first then the success/failure messages are displayed. This allows the developer to have custom success/failure messages which are simply cell references containing DBRWs back to the TM1 database. Since the sheet is recalculated first after the TI completes, the DBRWs would fire and then contain customized messages from the TM1 database to be displayed for success/failure events.

In PAX, it appears that once a TI completes the success/failure messages are displayed FIRST then the "Calculations" section is executed. With this reversal in operation compared to Perspectives it becomes impossible to show a customized success/failure messages since the DBRWs are recalculating after the success/failure messages are displayed.

We are requesting that PAX executes the “Calculations” first then display the success/failure messages upon completing executing a TI process. This would make is possible to display messages from the TM1 database since the sheet would be recalculated first then the success/failure messages would appear.
