Hello Rex
I have the forms working now, however there are a couple of strange things I have noticed:

1a. The first cListObjEditForm form1 (that is used to call the second cListObjEditForm form2) automatically appended a record to its bizobj and I had to change the luiEnableNewRecord to .F. to disable this feature.

1b. However the second cListObjEditForm2 does not append a record to its bizobj automatically, even when luiEnableNewRecord is set to .T.

1c. I have to put an "append blank" statement into the form "activate event". This works but it only runs "newid()" when the record is saved. ( I have a wait window nowait statement in newid) I cannot understand why this happens. The unique id is thus not available in the form but is available as the record is saved.

2a. I have received a couple of "Source is out of date" errors which is also strange as the code is not compiled before testing.

Your remarks on these points would be appretiated.

TIA
Allan
