OK, lets see if I can explain what I need here :-). 1. I have a page frame set up where the first page is to enter in customer data the second page is a grid where they can see the items already entered in for that customer on page one. 2. The client needs to add a new item for the current customer on page 2. This is no problem I have it doing this. The problem is that the customer id from page 1 is not being saved in the items table from page 2. 3.So when you save the record it is no longer there because the customer id did not get saved with the rest of the data in the items table. How do I get the customer id from page 1 to be saved with the items data on page 2? Thanks for any assistance. ================================================================== Wayne Jordan wjordan@pcl.net President PC Land, Inc. http://www.pcl.net "Making Computers Work for You" (205) 546-8949 Office (205) 546-8940 Fax ==================================================================
