lcProperties = lcProperties + myarray(i)+CHR(13) to lcProperties = lcProperties + myarray(i) + CHR(13) + CHR(10)>This is a method that finds the form field and associated HelpContextID and updates it based upon our home-grown data dictionary. I find the field name by looking at the ControlSource in the properties memo field in the form .SCX file. I also find the HelpContextID by looking at the properties memo field in the form .SCX file. Then I find the matching data dictionary entry that goes with the form and merge the data dictionary with the form .SCX file, but only the HelpContextID value gets affected... or that is the plan anyway. Thanks again.
