Jim,

That was the first thing we checked. No default values. BTW, I was thinking, that in my scatter name I may have forgotten to select the right table. So, at this moment I'm not absolutely positive in that check I made. Anyway, we didn't change anything, we opened the form and closed it. Why it would make the buffer dirty?

>>My colleague and I spent more than 4 hours today puzzling our heads on a very weird problem. He has a very complicated form with lots of business objects. There is a button on that form, which calls another form. That form is modal and it doesn't contain a biz. object. This form has a Default DS, so it shares DS of a calling form. This form has textbox controls bound to two views from the main form. Now, if we don't invoke that form, the main form behaves correctly. Once we invoke it and immediatelly close, it reports that something was changed.
