Dear John, I am not sure if I understand the question, however that would be more due to my stupidity rather than the way you posed the question. The variables are created through select commands that are taking data from other tables in the database. I do this generally by matching one column (titled pattern) with the same column in another table in the database. I then placed the variable on the form. I run the eep 'on before start eep" in the form and again "on close eep". Initially, all of the variables show up correctly. As I move on to the next row, they do not change. Only if I hit a button which runs the same eep again do the new variables show up.

Are they meant to be assigned values from the data in the individual rows in the table ? If so do you have a variable (or variables) which is/are assigned the value(s) for the column(s) in question ? If not where do these variable obtain their data from ?

In the form I have placed an eep where I am creating number of global variables. I have placed these global variables on my form. As I go through the rows selected by the command line, my global variables do not change on my standard form. I have placed recalc variables and tables all over the eep and they do not refresh the variable when I go to the next row. I have place a button on the forms which re-runs the eep and then the form refreshes. I don't understand the property commands and when to use them and all of my attempts to use them have failed. Please help. Thanks Herman
