I'm not sure why you expect something else. Obviously it'll use the last value of m.Note_Name when any button is clicked.

>Is there is a reason I can't pass the correct variable in button that is displayed more than once on a screen. I'm putting on an edit appt screen and it will not pass the correct name variable. There is only one read, so when the button is pushed can it only be the last value of xx rather than what is in the loop? m.Note_Name changes, but not when the button is pushed and it runs the VALID.
