IMHO, once you've gained a comfortable familiarity with VFP, stop using the wizards, their generic nature usually means a lot of unnecessary coding..

In the meantime..

place code like this in the add button

...
wizbuttonclass::cmdAdd

IF THIS.Parent.EditMode .AND. EMPTY(cust_id) && assumes item table is current
REPLACE cust_id WITH id_from_page_1
ENDIF
