Razzak, Thanks for your replies. I will do as you have suggested and will let you know what I find. To answer your easy questions though, the column in question is a computed column, (on a computed column - perhaps not the most elegant solution) and I could change it using Data Designer to match the definition in another table, but the form isn't trying to change it at all it just links the two tables.
(I had sent the sample earlier though so I hope I am not wasting anyone's time - the fact that this worked earlier with 7.5 and doesn't now just suggests that something has changed, or maybe that what I could 'get away with' in earlier versions is not possible now.) Thank you. Regards, John Docherty -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of A.

John, Have you changed the definition of the "de5" column? Is it a "Computed" column? If the "de5" is a computed column, you cannot update/modify the computed column. Forcing to update the computed column using DB Edit control in a form will result in that -ERROR- message. FYI, computed column(s) are updated automatically.
