Hi Jason,
Remember, it was the code that we wrote when preparing OFFICES form :

*OFFICES.init
lparameters tuID
select offices
set order to tag id
set key to tuId

OFFICES form datasession is "private" and in DE only has "offices" table.
If you set properties of "Offices" table in DE as :
order = "id"
and in DE initialselectedalias = "offices" then the init code would be shorter :

*OFFICES.init
lparameters tuID
set key to tuId

tuId is parameter var's name. I used tuId b/c :
"t" for parameter, "u" for "unknown type". Now we know it's a numeric value making it "tnId" is wiser :)
Check "naming conventions" for a more detailed explanation.
