>>>>>>I got my data binding working. I just had to spend the afternoon undoing all the things I was trying to do. Now I have a problem with the error message displaying in the wrong place -- or at least a place I don't want it. I think it's because my user wants a row of buttons across the top so I built a separate table for that row of buttons. Is there something I can do to tell the error message where to display? Thanks.

>>>>It's a broken rule error for which there is not currently a bound field. It is writing the error message on top of other entry fields. I suspect that it is trying to put it on the first line after the first table. The problem is that I have an extra table before the data entry table because the client wants the buttons for other screens to go across the top. That's just a guess, of course, but it did move when I tried making that first table the top row of hte data entry table. It was not pretty.

Thanks, Tim. Will do.
