>>If I have a cursor, let's call it sklcurs, and the fields are bound to a number of controls on a form, is there a way to know if as few as one field's value has changed as a result of changing it in the form control it's bound to without writing a piece of code to each control?

Rereading your request, perhaps GETFLDSTATE() is more appropriate

IF "2" $ GETFLDSTATE(-1,"sklcurs")
  At Least One Field Has Changed
ENDIF

If you're looking at a new record, you'll look for a "4" in GETFLDSTATE(-1,"sklcurs")
