Claudine,
I have predefined all my variables. I am getting closer by using my Component ids to change the Quotid. Part of my problem was how the form itself was set up. I corrected that with the component id. I am not there yet but at least most of the routine is working. I will have to continue this afternoon. Thanks for the input.

I am now using the following process to try and duplicate the rows but am running into a strange error. 1) I bring the rows into both the Header and Detail temporary tables. This is successful. 2) I then want to change the ID number to a new number prior to bringing up the form. The ID number in my Entry form (which works) looks at the combination of the present Date, the ship to State, and the Count to create the ID number. This must be unique. Here is the code that works in the Entry form: -- Assign New Quote Number SET VAR vshiptostate = shiptostate IN tquoteheader WHERE quoteid = .vquoteid SELECT (COUNT(*)) INTO vQuoteCount INDIC ivQuoteCount FROM QuoteHeader + WHERE QuoteDate = .#DATE AND ShipToState = .vShipToState IF vQuoteCount = 0 THEN SET VAR vQuoteCount = 1 ELSE SET VAR vQuoteCount = (.vQuoteCount+1) ENDIF CLEAR VAR vquoteid SET VAR vquoteID = + ((TRIM(FORMAT(.#DATE,'MMDDYY')))+(TRIM(FORMAT(.vQuoteCount,'00')))+.vShi pToState) IF quoteid <> .vquoteid THEN UPDATE tquoteheader SET QuoteID = .vquoteid UPDATE tquotedetail SET QuoteID = .vquoteid ENDIF Two errors are occurring that I cannot figure out. One is the SELECT COUNT is not adding a '2' to the new ID number. The ID in the Header is already (in this case) 120701IA so the new number should be 120702IA. That is not happening. The second error is the program comes up with 'QuoteID is not a column or variable' when I run the UPDATE command above. Yet the rows were added to the temp table using the very column 'QuoteID'! I have used watch variables to see when the variables change. If anyone is on line this weekend, your help would be appreciated. Jim
