That is what I am doing. Not happy about it but that is what I am doing for now. I am afraid of this cropping up in other places. In a few months all of this will be working against SQL instead of Foxpro Tables and this subform and several others will be worked into a common lookup form. Maybe at that time the problem will either reveal itself or go away.
