Thanks - How can I tell if they didn't move off the field with a tab or press the enter key to commit the changes? Why does a view give an update confict error when it doesn't if you use a table as a recordsource.

Since it is only one field they can update, I probably will just update the unlying table to that view from the valid event of the grid textbox using the SQl update command.
