>In the standard bizmaintenanceform when they hit the new button page 2 pops empty and they can add data. Page 3 holds the data from the other table. Tableupdate() at that time and I see that the view shows a value for custid, but the actual table as a different one.

If you can find out what's really causing this, I'd love to hear it. This one was driving me buggy a few weeks ago. I ended up removing the auto-requery stuff between my bizobjs and manually handling it - that seemed to fix it. I wasn't able to pin down the exact cause. I made the mistake of changing a few things at once, then testing so I'm not exactly sure which change fixed the problem.
