>I have a form with a dataenvironment of two free tables. Cursor1 is active almost all the time, Cursor2 is called on occasion to provide the value for a textbox. I am unclear as to the proper syntax for referencing a field in a record of cursor2. I've tried Thisform.Mytextbox.value = Thisform.dataenvironment.cursor2.MyTable.MyField but I get a blank textbox. I have reasons for not putting the free tables in a database. Am I asking the impossible?

Peter,

Set the controlsources for the textboxes and not the value proeprties. You can use the pick list provided in the property sheet to select the field you want.
