Never mind! I forgot to Instanciate my business object in the New event.
>I am new to MM.Net and .Net in general, so please bear with me. I have written my first MM.Net app and now feel empowered. However the first app was a "normal" type of maintenance app with navigation and selection based upon user entry (picklist). This form is not like that in that only one record should be available based upon an environment setting. I need to retrieve this record immediately after the form gets initial focus. This is a code snippet from my form.
