Paul, VMF defaults each form to Optimistic Buffering and each table to Form Default. This means that you will have ROW buffering for every control except grids. Grids will default to TABLE buffering (don't as, this is a VFP decision, not VMF).

Therefore, as you move the record pointer in your SEEK, you'll fire a tableupdate(). Dave's suggestion of USE...AGAIN... to use your file as a lookup is excellent.

Also, if you've never written to an HTML site before you may not know you can show all of your code in non-proportional font with the PRE command. Look at my code with the REPLY button and you'll see.

Place     Code     Here
In        Columns  Now

(Now if I made a mistake, I'll sure look stupid, won't I? :-) ) Anyway, it makes your code easier to read because the HTML will remove all your leading spaces.
