Dear List
 
Please consider the code below.  I'm doing the same thing with 3 tables,
to get the description  field from the look-up tables, given the FK from
the main table.  I've ommitted some of the code but essentially the code
picks up the Zone description (not included here) and the Facility Type
Description (Desc from FacDesc - included), but not the Zone Group
description.

I've put notes and browses in the code to trace what's what but the Zone
Group Description is getting lost somewhere, despite the evidence of my
"break points".  This seems really weird - it works fine for the other 2
look-up values.  I've annotated, below, (1) - (8),  the code where I've
put my traces.  It's got me baffled.  Any ideas?
