The control source is the loan.dbf. Loan.fname and loan.lname, which contain the borrower's first and last name.

>>On a report parameters form, a textbox expects user entry to report on just one loan. The textbox had data a source of posted.loannum (a loan # to report on just one loan). However, the correct data source should have been loan.loannum. But when I changed it to loan.loannum, the text boxes displaying the borrower's first and last names do not refresh. My workaround is to assign the loan.loannum to thisform.loannum1 property during the form Load, which works fine.
