David,

It's bad idea to give the object you create the same name as a table. Consider this code

lcCode = Product.Code

Is Product.Code a field in product table or property of the Product object? You'll have to use m.Product.Code to make sure that you reference a property.

To make it work create a property of the form named oProduct to save refrence to the object you create

Scatter Name loProduct
Thisform.oProduct = loProduct

Set conrolsource of your textboxes to the corresponding fields of Thisfom.oProduct in development or in the form Load

Thisform.txtCode = Thisform.oProduct.Code
Txproduct = Thisform.oProduct.Product
Txtprice  = Thisform.oProduct.Price

Make sure that Scatter is executed in the Load of the form for a first viewed record otherwise you'll get error in textboxes ititialization.

>Then when I click on the grid (and Scatter Name Product) I get the Data Type Mismatch error. The textboxes on the form remain blank. I can then however see the object(Product) in the Local debugger window with a + sign. Expanding this shows me all of the tables fields, correctly filled with data from the record I tried to click on. However these object fields are not being scattered into the textboxes.
