Dennis, The method I described should work for what you need. Simply define:
vYourPK = YourPKColumn And vYourPK should have the Value of your PK columns for the current record. You do not have to display your PK column on the grid to obtain the value of the PK column.

With that, one can lookup what they want in the database.

If you want to permanently store the variable, you could use a button that sets another variable to vYourVariable.makes sense?
