Hello, Ken.

>What is the procedure when you do not want the user to edit a control (text field), but you do want your program to change the values in the table associated with the control. When I set the control to READONLY = .t., I can not update the table with program code? Any ideas?

The ReadOnly property just avoid interactive change of the value, not programmatic.

However, notice that if you update a field value that's bounded to some control, you should isuue a control (or form) refresh() for it to change on screen.

Hope this helps.
