Paula I am happy that the Europen timezon could help, the American time sound have given me many solutions when I wake up in the morning.
One more thing if you display that match variable listview one more thing you should consider is in the for namepart add: PROPERTY yourlisview makeclick 0 PROPERTY yourlisview set_focus TRUE That was never available in 7.1 but I find it very useful in 7.6 espaciel when reyuren numer of records are greater then can be viewd on screen Gunnar Ekblad Kontema IT AB Hästholmsvägen 32 131 30 Nacka Sweden -----Ursprungligt meddelande----- Från: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] För [email protected] Skickat: den 17 september 2009 14:02 Till: RBASE-L Mailing List Ämne: [RBASE-L] - Re: Need help with converting form to 7.6 Thanks Gunnar and Alastair That did the trick. I added an on-click eep with the RECALC VARIABLES. Oddly the thing I had to do to make the top part of the form work (the lookup box where the user types in the name they're looking for) was to REMOVE the recalc from the eep -- which I tried after reading the help screen on the change in how 7.6 handles lookup variables and define the key variable (vidno) in the on entry eep. I love this list. I was so frustrated last night I shot off the question and went to bed. Woke up this morning to find your suggestions which I tried and my problem was solved! For someone like me with a lot less experience than many of you, this list and those of you so willing to share your expertise is a Godsend. Thank you!

Regards, Alastair. ----- Original Message ----- From: Paula <mailto:[email protected]> Stuart To: RBASE-L Mailing List <mailto:[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, September 17, 2009 2:23 AM Subject: [RBASE-L] - Need help with converting form to 7.6 Just upgrading a database from 7.1 to 7.6 and the form that is the primary lookup form is driving me crazy. I got the variable list lookups to work (had to read the help instructions for how this changed in 7.6) However the thing thats driving me bonkers seems like it should be easiest to do and doesnt seem to have changed from 7.1 unless Im just missing something. The user types a name or a portion of a name into the form and the system displays a list of possible matches. When the user clicks on the correct name, two other variable list lookup boxes are populated with various transactional data. Got that all working fine. However there are variable labels that are just simple lookups (vhomephone = homephone in biofile where idno = .vidno) that just will not work. As I said, they work ifne in 7.1. There are several of these variable labels that should just look up info from the main table based upon the record selected. They just stay blank. What am I missing?
