I'm paging through a form using a NEXT button and I'd like to show "lookup values" from another table which get refreshed each time I hit a next button. For example, my form has project number stored in the main table of the form, and I'd like to display in the project name in a read-only field.

Among other things, I've tried:
1. seeking the correct record in the lookup table
2. writing the value of the name into the textbox.value
3. refreshing the form

This doesn't seem to update the textbox at all...although logically it should work. I've also tried poking at the refresh() method of the textbox.... that didn't seem to work either. So....I'm thrashing!

Anyone have a reasonable way to do this?

The tables are buffered, if that makes any difference.
The tables are *not* related...i.e. there is no permanent relation setup between the table.

Many thanks.
