Bill,
That is as I thought. I have done the second item you mentioned below in the past. I just used the SAVEROW command and everything worked. I guess the only downside to this command would be if you changed your mind after exiting that row and before the cancel key. Thanks for the help.

You could either save the row, and then GETPROPERTY caption or textvalue of a displayed DB Label or DB Edit control. Or you could get the value of each column referenced in the computed column expression, do the same calcuation, and update a static text or variable label with a PROPERTY command.

I use variables on the form to show any changes to the Order (such as subtotals, etc.) I use the PROPERTY commands (TEXTVALUE) on certain db edit fields to update them. This works fine. My question is on columns in the temporary tables that are computed. These would be for totals, etc. Are there any commands that will recalculate those computed fields? Since the other fields are updated as TEXTVALUES, is this possible? Jim PS. I have tried using the PROPERTY command to equal the subtotal and total variables but to no avail.
