>Depending on which field I changed originally, it shows up in a different column. And, yes, it still shows up immediately after tableupdate(). An interesting point, if I change 2 fields and save, it changes the 2 corresponding to the first field to a 1, but no matter how many times I save, the last changed field never has its status changed in getfldstate(-1). And the record REALLY is saved! If I exit the form and go back in, all of my changes are there. BTW, this is not an issue where eval(this.controlsource) <> this.value. I handle that before invoking my save method.

Marcia,

I'll bet your save button is in a toolbar, right? Well toolbars never get focus, that means that the textbox never lost focus, and the textbox updates its controlsource when it loses focus. So your tableupdate is fired and it updates without the textbox value of the last textbox. Then the textbox loses focus and it updates its controlsource and you have a dirty buffer. The solution, well you did want the answer too didn't you?

In the click of the toolbar button pout this before you tableupdate;

IF TYPE("_screen.activeform.ActiveControl.Name") = "C"
_screen.activeform.ActiveControl.SetFocus()
ENDIF
