Hi Evan,

You've used VFP(???) statements i've never saw:

Eh, eh,

Let's go to the question. I have once the problem you had: at INSERT works, and at UPDATE don't. It's simple. You cannot use the references of textboxes (or other objects) at the UPDATE. Use variables to support it.
But, after reading your message, i get scared with another thing: are you updating all the fieds of your table like that? Why don't you use ControlSource of your objects, and do a Tablupdate? I'm sorry if i'm against your philosophy, or if i'm saying anything wrong, because i'm not seeing the problem.

Cheers,

Ricardo
