My cancel button clears the input boxes fine, but going back to re-enter data, clicking on any input box causes the box to "grey out" or become disabled.
any thoughts?

thanks

>>>Ok, this is the quick overview.
>>>
>>>Unless you use buffering VFP tables get updated as soon as you change them. IOW if you bind a textbox to a field in the table, and change the contents of the textbox the field value gets changed. Putting code in a save doesn't do anything because it's already saved.
>>>
>>>You will need to use table buffering to be able to save and revert changes the user makes on a form. Buffering just means that the changes made on the form are temporarily held in memory until you tell VFP to save the changes to the table.
>>>
>>>Try this. Go into the DE for you form. Change the BufferModeOverride for your table to 5-Optomistic Table. Now in the OK button click put TableUpdate(1, .T., 'MyTableName'), in the Cancel button put TableRevert(.T., 'MyTableName)
>>>
>>>TableUpdate tells VFP to flush the changes in the buffer to the actual table (ie. Save the changes). TableRevert tell VFP to discard the changes in the buffer (ie. Cancel the changes).
>>>
>>>Look TableUpdate and TableRevert up in the help to see what they do and what the parameters mean.
>>>
>>>I know it is confusing now, was for me to when I tried to learn it. John's article is excellent, and should help you understand how buffering works.
