Yes the form accepts new debit and credit items. I requery() the view after each update.

Here is the code that produces the running balance. Almost identical to your code:

select v_AITEMS
requery()

select sum(yAmount) from v_AITEMS into array laBalance
if _tally>0
this.yDetailSum = laBalance[1]
lyBalance = 0
scan
lyBalance = lyBalance + round(yAmount,2)
replace yBalance with lyBalance
endscan
else
this.yDetailSum = 0
endif

If I execute this code twice, I get the message "Do you wish to save changes?" just before the requery. If I close the form I get the same message. Etc.

BTW, the query insures that the balance is zero before the first retrieved item.
