Rex,

This is an a simular issue I've been trying to solve. My situation is, I would like the user to see the default values on the form as they are regular defaults to make entry easier. The problem with the "Save Changes" when escaping, is still a problem for me, so I was exploring setting field state to 3 for the defaulted fields. This will cause the problem that the those fields don't update to the underlying table. I would like to use the defaults defined in the view (which I am already updating from the table using Eric's eView utility). I am also using Mere Mortals and would like to put the enhancement in the correct locations and not break anything in the process. Any suggestions on how I can accomplish this?

Gary.
