>> When you do 'Set fitler to ID_Cust = tnMyID', filter is definately applied in the INIT event of the form but when you come out INIT variable / parameter 'tnmyid' is released. This is causing the problem. You should always SET FILT in following manner.

CORRECTION:

LPARAMETER tnMyID

PUBLIC ctnMyid

ctnMyid = tnMyID

This.DataEnvironment.Cursor1.Filter = "ID_CUST = ctnMyID"


OR

LPARAMETERS tnMyID

IF tnmyid is character
This.DataEnvironment.Cursor1.Filter = "ID_CUST = '"+tnMyID+"'"

IF tnmyid is numeric
This.DataEnvironment.Cursor1.Filter = "ID_CUST = '"+STR(tnMyID)+"'"
