>>Yea i know that but when its marked isnt it NOT supposed to show up when i call the table ?cause when i mark other stuff they dont show up in the Exe but when i browse the tables i see the little black boxes by them.and i can pack when i need to. but im thinking because im using my tables DIRECTLY IN the exe its gonna show even if its marked or not

Well when buffering mode is on PEssimistic. even if set deleted is On it does get deleted but "Comes back" when the form is loaded again. but buffering mode 0 seemed to take care of that.

and about my Logic..i can do

this.enable if thisform.value <>1

i guess? but..its not wrong-ish to have it how i do ?
