Is your cursor writable?
What mechanism do you use to get the next record? You say scroll - I presume via a grid. So, in the AfterRowColChange event of the grid, do you issue a form refresh, to ensure that the bound controls on the form are getting the most up-to-date values from the cursor.
Having said that, you say "Since this text box is based on a field in my SPT cursor" - I take this to MEAN the text box IS bound to the field in the cursor.

>I have a form that runs SPT on load event. I have a field that holds a record seq number. If I scroll through the records to a record where this field is empty, type in a value, move to next record, click in the text box to add a value, at this time the value I typed in before appears in the text box. Since this text box is based on a field in my SPT cursor, I don't want some automatic value populating this box.
