Ok, let's go step by step. Firstly, the view, you use, is supposed to be a part of form.dataenvironment. If it's really so, then you should change (retype) NoDataOnLoad in property sheet for the DataEnvironment.Cursor object associated with the view. In Page.Activate event you may have something like:
cSoc_no = PADR(...)
=Requery("studschd")
and "studschd" supposed to be alias of your view.
Start from here and see what you will receive.
BTW, it's not necessarily to start new thread, you may continue this one.
