Thanks for the advice, John.

On the Table side,
In the table definition I set a default value addnum+" "+prefix+" "+ALLTRIM(addname)+" "+addtype+" "+addapt
I don't see any 'on save' properties here.

On the form, I tried putting the same formula in the InteractiveChange Event.
This doesn't do what I expected either.

Can you point me to an example or tell me where I get to 'on save'?
