Hi Sheena,

>Form b has 5 textbox controls, 3 which use variables(csurname, cfirstname and cphone and 2(gidetail.sin, gidetail.result) are the fields in the table as the controlsource. These are saved and to display in a grid on Form A.

Hmm, you post this about a week ago right? Would it be possible to not use variables for the Textboxes and linke them right to the fields?
