Yea, unfortunately the variables do not show like the scrolling region. Otherwise, I would have a lot less scrolling regions in the forms.

I need to bring up a form with: ENTER USING <formname> User will be entering multiple rows at once. When the user types in an Inventory#, I need 5 other "variable" type of fields to display immediately to show details of that inventory# they typed in (like description, color, etc). When using a DBGrid in edit mode, I would set up a Enhanced Properties / Lookup Expression as below to display the values (and make that column read-only so the user doesn't change it) [rb.jpg] However, when doing "enter using" it appears nothing will work until I leave the row and thereby save it even tho I am using the required < >. I tried setting a vPCGS# form variable and replacing the <pcgs#> in the print-screen with a variable, but also does not evaluate until row is saved. Is there anything I can do to use a DBGrid rather than a scrolling region? Do I need to play around with the new "UPDATEDFIELDNAME" property / TEXTVALUE commands (again, I'm assuming these won't work with an "enter using")? A scrolling region would work fine, but darn it I want a DBGrid! Suggestions?? Thanks, gurus!
