Dave,
You nailed that one on the head. The form was NOT model. So that ment that it would just run through the code. After examination I found that my base screen was not model and when I fixed it it worked ok. I appreciate your help in this.

Thanks Jim Boden

>>After I sent this message I did some checking if I just created a brand new form nothing on it then I was able to get it to work. You are right that it has to do with the DataEnvironment. Once I removed it then it worked. Now the only prolbem is to get the screen to stay up long enough for the people to key some info into it.
