Thanks David, I'll definitely have a look. First of all though, and I'm sure you've had to do this 100 times by now, but could you send me your url and I'll add it to my bookmarks.

>>I have several tables that have a large number of fields with the Format, InputMask and Caption properties set. I will be using parameratized local views of these tables for my form. Is there a way to have the view 'inherit' the Format, InputMask and Caption properties from the table? I don't want to have to retype them all. TIA
