Why not make the search and add/edit forms the same form. Is there any reason it has to two different forms? At one time you could get a free tool here in the downloads called QBF Builder which is a control that you would drop on the form then run a builder. At runtime, when you clicked on the search button, the searchable fields would become yellow. Key in what you're searching for, click the search button again, and the data is retrieved.

>I always like to see another VFP app, just to see how other people design their interfaces. Would anybody be willing to post some screenshots I could see. I would be glad to share mine, but I mainly want to others. I am not snooping around to find out secret data hidden in the screenshots, I just never hardly get to see other people's work, and I thought this would be a good way.
