alrighty....now for something sorta new.

I'm using the AfterRow event to get the 'old' value of the cell and holding that in a form level variable. I'm using BeforeRow to check to see if the value of the cell has changed and if so, do something. In this case, I change the value from 500 to 450. Thisform.r_oldvalue is 500, and if I browse the file after I've made the change, orditms.apprqty = 450.

If orditms.apprqty <> thisform.r_oldvalue
** calculate new onhand total
endif

It's acting like it's not seeing the change until I move out of the field and then move back into the same field and move out.

wassup with that?

That way I always have a current row number without trying to depend on ActiveRow, which as you have found out, may or may not be accurate.
