Few notes:
1. What is 'xxx_loan'?
2. The syntax should be Column.Controlsource="thisform.custommethod(parm1,parm2..)"
If you want to type it directly to property sheet (which better be avoided) add '=', i.e. =thisform.....
3. Don't cut off previous part of UT thread when you reply, because it creates difficulties for potential answerers.
