>>I am creating some text boxes on the fly in a form Init. I can set the control sorce to a field. I can set the control source of an existing text box to the memvar but get a message "Data source for this object must be a variable reference". Anyone got any ideas?

Another tip I got (from the UT!) on doing this is to create a cursor, say in the Init() of the form, to hold your variables. The contents of the cursor are available from all methods of the form. Don't forget to destroy the cursor.
