>Thank you very much. When I placed the textboxes on the form originally a "1" was added to each name ie IntCost1 etc although the field in the table is called IntCost. If I remember correctly I were unable to change the name on the form. In the object list the correct name is "THISFORM.IntCost1" etc.

Petrus,
You could change "name" property. If you're dropping classes on to form, they are automatically named as classname1, classname2 ...
For form objects you could use thisform, in a form.member or form, doesn't matter. Use "this" if you want to refer to the control itself.
