I have set up several forms like this. It also helps if you use the buttons from the wizard class that autmatically move through any table attached to a form. They allow adds, edits and deletes and ms wrote all the code for you already.

Hi Audie,
Thanks. But I am looking for a way to get a warning just as the user leaves the field. I am not for the vfp
way. My question is - Is there a way to get the duplicated warning immediately after leaving the field in a
form.??. I am not using the surrogate keys.
Thanks
alex
