You can't avoid javascript in a web app.. In a web app, you want to try to minimize all the connect to server/get a response/disconnect stuff. Can you give a scenario of what you're trying to do so I can give you some ideas of how to make it happen in a web app?

>But your operative words were "the id is linked to the value" - surely there is a way to access that from code between the 'arrowbracket/percentage' tags? (sorry - UT won't allow me to put the actual tags in the text of the message). If this info is accessible later down the line, surely it is accessible as soon as the box 'loses focus'? I have seen javascript stuff in my search for answers, but I don't think I am ready to go down that rabbit hole just yet. To my perhaps idiot mind, 'arrowbracket/percentage tag' stuff is scripting in vfp, so we ought also to be able to access that info...
