>On my form, all the controls are having ControlSource from a single cursor. At any point of time, this cursor is having only one record. Now, for accessing/checking the user input, which for the following method is advisable and why?

>2. cursor.field
>In the valid event of any control, both the methods show the same value.

If the ControlSource is bound to a field then you can easily just refer to the field value and that should work. Note that this is returning the field value no matter if commited or not, if buffering applies.
