Hello, Thank you very much for your answer! Now I understand what you're saying. I changed my macro, now looks like this: Sub ActualizarSaldoVentas (Evento) Dim oFrm As Object Dim oCliente As Object Dim oTotal As Object Dim oCon As Object Dim oStat As Object Dim sSQL As String Dim oRes As Object Dim sCliente as String 'Dim oIdPago As Object oFrm=Evento.Source.Model.Parent If oFrm.hasByName("id_cliente") Then oCliente=oFrm.getByName("id_cliente") Else Print "Cannot find id_cliente" Exit Sub End If sCliente=oCliente.getCurrentValue() oTotal=oFrm.getByName("fmttotal") Print sCliente End Sub
They were wrong names form controls. The problem now is that when I write Print sCliente, it prints the name of the client (because it is a combo box) and not the id of the customer, which is what I need to do my update. How I can do to get the client id? Can search by customer name obtained but this can be repeated, only the ID is unique. Much appreciate a response. regards, Yessica 2013/1/30 Andrew Douglas Pitonyak <and...@pitonyak.org> > I think that AndrewBase.odt provides a routine that can find a control > from its name....
