doing a work around for validating from the cmdsave on the toolbar. because i call lastcontrol.valid myself, the controlsource is not updated with the value. want to update the controlsource with the value generically. do not want to change all my valid code, since it all references the controlsource now.

do not want to actually update the controlsource, but the controlsource's value.

controlsource = tablex.field1
tablex.field1 = .t.

want to set tablex.field1 = this.valuel

any ideas?
