Hi and thanks for the reply,

Unfortunately I didn't post all of my original message regarding the environment. I'm adding this custom form off of the Visual AccountMate (SQL version) menu. Everything is already connected via a 32bit ODBC System DSN connection that Visual AccountMate sets up. I copied an existing form, changed my remote view and added my new fields. I have no idea why it is asking me to give my SQL login and password.

Mysterious indeed.........
