Hi Mary-Ann!

Try using GETFLDSTATE() but not in the LostFocus of the control you are testing. Use it in an event *after* that. Can't quite tell you where because I don't know the structure of your form.

>Have form that is based on a view, buffermode is 1-Pessimistic. not understanding when exactly it sees the change made to the txtfields. have tried different things. The latest is comparing thisform.txtfield.value with oldval("field","table") in the lostfocus. It doesn't detect a change. What am I doing wrong?
