>Hilmar - I looked at that first and I did a test - with a form with 1 field and several command buttons, one of which displays the oldval(field) and another the curval(field) and another one to commit the changes. When I enter a new value in the field the oldval() and curval() always show the same value even though I haven't committed the changes.
Usually, you would not use curval(); only the fieldname by itself (for the current value, in the editing buffer), and oldval("Fieldname").
Also, these functions work best in conjunctions with buffering. Otherwise, the change will be comitted immediately.
Curval() reads the value back from disk, and should only differ from Oldval() if
another user made changes, and saved them to disk.
HTH,
