You can create a db edit field,assign it a component id and hide it. Then you can use the getproperty of the db edit field to capture the value. Just remember the getproperty variable has to be a text value. Dan Goldberg

For example do I need to capture (getproperty) the initial value at some point and retrieve it again at another? Is there an RBTI variable that will tell me this? I've experimented with capturing the value of a DbDate/Time Picker in the "On Row Entry" and "On After Start" eep's and I don't seem to get the value of the column. Thanks for any input. Duey
