Go into your bizobj class (HistoryObjSingle) and in the PostInitHook method, add the code as shown. You then need to add a new property to your bizobj class. The manual uses cCountry as an example, you could call yours cSingle.

My PostInitHook method is fine, the problem was with my view. I did not have the update column for the cid checked. The program performed a new(), stored the cid and then used it later so that I could retrieve the record, but because the cid update column was not checked the physical record had a different value for the cid. I am mostly irrated that I spent so much time finding this.

Thanks to you and Bob.
