Interesting…
In my test, the listbox’s table was set to Read Write.
As each cell in a row was entered, the value appeared, but when the record was 
reloaded, the changes weren’t there.

I do have to do a save anyway as the last user/date modified needs to be 
updated and (for reasons I won’t go into now) I am not using a trigger for that.
I’ll take another look at this issue as I’m interested to see why my test is 
not auto-saving and yours and Chip’s does.
Cheers, Keith
