Jimmy,

Here's what is happening in your code;

Thisform.C1.Visible = .F.
Thisform.T1.Visible = .T.

* Ok now the right controls is visible

clear

* Don't know why you are clearing here.

ThisForm.Text1.value = ""

* You've just blanked out the controlsource for the current record

DBSETPROP('intrancust', 'view', 'Tables', 'Tomparco!inventory')
DBSETPROP('intrancust', 'view', 'SendUpdates',.T.)

* You shoudln't need these lines as you have already set the properties in the previous code

APPEND BLANK


Try doing things this way instead;

Thisform.C1.Visible = .F.
Thisform.T1.Visible = .T.
APPEND BLANK IN YourViewAlias
ThisForm.Text1.Refresh()

Also, use the complete set of arguments in TableUpdate(), not using them all can cause the tableupdate to occur in the wrong work area on you.
