Hi Gar ---

I have seen two solutions to this problem, one involving ActiveControl.LostFocus and the other is to do a REPLACE of the table.field of the ActiveControl.ControlSource with ActiveControl.Value if ActiveControl.BaseClass INLIST("TextBox","EditBox","ComboBox")...

The other solution was a bit more elegent but escapes me......
