>>Hi,
>> I would like to know the 'cleanest' method for preventing an update when I launch another form from one form. The second form is modal and is a picklist which returns its value back to the calling form. I don't want the values in the original form to update before the value is returned from the picklist. Thanks in advance.

Nick,
Thanks very much for the response. You are absolutely correct. When I looked at the parent class of the form, I had created code to look at the top and bottom records of whatever table was currently used and then enabe/disable navigation buttons accordingly. Alas, I was moving the record pointer because I cannot remember what I did a month ago. Thanks again.
