You could always use the SetFldState() function to set that field's status to modified. You are correct that you would need to do this prior to the BeforeInsert event.

You could also do something like:

cInsertCmd = strtran(cInsertCmd, 'INTO MYTABLE (', 'INTO MYTABLE (cFieldName, ')

cInsertCmd = strtran(cInsertCmd, 'VALUES (', 'VALUES (?RTRIM(crsMyCursor.cFieldName), ')

Of course you would only do that if a test for the existence of that field in cInsertCmd is negative. I would also use the Case-Sensitivity flag of your choice in the STRTRAN() functions.
